| Community Tasting Notes (average 94 pts. and median of 94 pts. in 1 note) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Sagan99 on 4/4/2024 & rated 94 points: Attorney Somm's YouTube channel has all kinds of detailed, pertinent, and well presented information from which I love to shop for wines to both taste and cellar.
Wow! At the right temperature, I can get to Dunnuck's 95. Initially I served it too cold and the intricate details and parsed characteristics weren't present.

Very similar to the occasional Burgundian best!
( I'm always amazed/ashamed (?) that I will spend hundreds for a Burgundy Grand or Premier Cru, but cringe at $100 for a California Chardonnay of equal or better calibre!! I always shake my head when I frequently realize my own bias!)

winery built in the Napa Valley after the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, and has become a must see attraction for visitors to the valley. Merryvale is committed to protecting and preserving the environment through conservation,
renewable energy and sustainable farming practices at our three estate vineyards. Merryvale has received Napa Green Vineyard, Napa Green Winery and Bay Area Green Business certifications.Chardonnay 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 Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Napa ValleySt. Helena |
