It has the brightness, balance, and structure to carry the buttery sweetness making it easy to drink.

(1272 views) | | | Tasted by sdrum on 4/8/2022 & rated 90 points: Ferrari Corona is always reliable. Rich and golden with some mineral notes. Could use a bit more acid, but then it wouldn't be F-C style. (1291 views) | | | Tasted by rthpal on 2/1/2022 & rated 93 points: To me CT high Excellent. Nice aroma, and I liked it more and more as I drank it. I generally like F-C's whites. I gave this Chard 93 points. I did not find it too oaky, and nor did my wife. (1697 views) | | | Tasted by Jcascio on 1/1/2022: Not buttery. More of a mineral quality. I didn't immediately enjoy it but did a few days after opening.

Under screw. Chardonnay was the first variety that Don and Rhonda Carano planted back in 1981 when they founded the winery, and it has been a staple since. Really light in the glass, which is surprising given that it is aged in oak (24% new). Pineapple, oak, and yellow apple on the nose with great acidity, impressive fruit, and velvety vanilla on the palate. This is not necessarily my preferred style of Chard, but it is lovely and delicious. thedrunkencyclist.com (1143 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

| Ferrari-Carano Producer websiteChardonnay The Chardonnay GrapeUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Sonoma CountyMendocino CountySonoma CountySonoma Coast |
