 Tasted by Oberhau on 12/26/2022 & rated 89 points: Not a lot of fruit left but oak is not dominating either. Taste is nicely balanced with light to medium body. Good for sipping and lighter fare. (336 views)
 Tasted by Rond on 8/7/2022 & rated 90 points: Moderate + acidity, with notes of grapefruit, green apple, oak, and honeysuckle. Good at this price point. (440 views)

 Tasted by vino_per_tutti on 12/25/2021 & rated 89 points: Golden color. Mostly bright citrus, white peach, honey notes on the nose and palate. Crisp, but a bit lifeless through the finish. Perfectly fine, but nothing special. (693 views)
 Tasted by La Cave d'Argent on 4/5/2021 & rated 92 points: Chalone's 2019 Chardonnay is a light golden wine that flaunts aromas of lime zest, clementines, white peaches, jasmine and wet stones. Medium-bodied, fresh, seamlessly alcoholic (14.4%) and with well-integrated oak, it delivers flavors mirroring the nose and stays solid on the mid-palate. Medium in length and mineral-laden on the back end, this is a New World wine with lots of Old World character. Drink now-2024. (1085 views)

Chardonnay

The Chardonnay Grape

USA

American 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.

California

2021 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
