5/18/2019 - mflesh wrote: 93 pointsExperienced this one about three months ago and reviewed on another site. Gave it a much higher rating than I'm giving it todaybon here. This was tasted alongside a 2016 Hudson little bit Chardonnay, which outdid this one by a significant amount. The nose of this wine showed a hint of flint, white flowers, mango and melon. This one was like buttered banana bread on the palate towards the front, and then sort of leaned out in the middle and finish towards more of a white flower and peach flesh character. Acidity compared to the 2016 Hudson was significantly less. It almost seems like this wine was created in a certain style while the grapes wanted to show another! |

5/2/2018 - DougSamuel Likes this wine: 93 pointsStarting to get a bit more of the deep yellow, honey color to it. The nose took a few minutes after pouring to open up, but had tropical fruit and a hint of butterscotch. Excellent balance; rich texture, ripe fruit, and acidity to back it up. These TOR chards improve with age and am starting to wonder if I need to save them all for 5 years before drinking. I don't know the story of the Hudson vineyard but this was the last bottling from TOR, which is a shame. |

1/15/2018 - tomoem wrote: 89 pointsFading. This wine is best young but with that said here are my notes. Toast bread with some vanilla at the start. The mid palette is very balanced whereby the acidity is very much held in check and allows acedar wood flavor to emerge. The finish is where I find the fading as the fruit is literally absent. More cedar, and vanilla then any form of citrus or other fruit notes. |

11/20/2017 - jeffreylubowski Likes this wine: 89 pointsNothing bad about this but I had great expectations for the vintage and the vineyard. Starting to show some signs of age, big and hot and full of flavor. Exotic, tropical, wood, nutty. But the hair spray component is a bit of a detractor... |

Oak now predominates and, a bit coarse on the finish, instead of the light fruit and minerality I enjoyed with the first bottle. But then I shouldn't really be surprised, given that it sources Hudson Vineyards. |

8/29/2017 - dclaggett Likes this wine: 90 pointsBig bold, high alcohol Chardonnay, very ripe, definite RS, lemon curd, oak, tropical fruit, winter melon, honey. Must be your super rich and opulent style or you may be turned off. Awesome with food, can hold its own with just about anything. |

8/20/2017 - tomoem Likes this wine: 93 pointsOne of the more toasty Tor Chard's I have had. There are immidiate flavors of apricot nut and pear. Well balanced and present acidity against a woody character. This wine reminds me of an aged French Montrachet. Definitely different than the Tor's I have had. |

10/21/2016 - DRK III Likes this wine: 90 pointsGood, but nothing special. Has all the parts of a great napa chard but lacks them with enough oomph and complexity to make it stand out. This will not age much longer. |

Mild rim variation. Beautiful, intriguing nose. Minerality. White florals and citrus. No tannin. Low acid. Medium alcohol. Medium finish. Very drinkable and approachable. Suspect it has plenty of bottle life left. |

1/18/2016 - tomoem Likes this wine: 92 pointsThe least modern style Chardonnay I have seen from this maker. This wine is not like any of the recent vintages of Tor Hudson Vineyards wines. In the first hour where I was expecting an over-ripened fruit bomb I found less butter and more tartness (almost lemon zest). After an hour the wine began to lose its acidity revealing a more juicy mouthwatering fruity flavor. I would love to age this bottle a little because in retrospect, it was too fresh and young when we first opened the bottle. I will revisit in 2 years. |
