2014 Morlet Family Vineyards Chardonnay Ma DouceFort Ross - Seaview more |
5/23/2021 - rdk8 Likes this wine: 94 pointsDecanted just before serving. Californian terroir meets Burgundian winemaking. Yellow and green in the glass. Tropical fruits, minerality and toasted oak on the nose. Toffee, lemon and slight oak on the palate. A surprising (but not bad) amount of acidity on the finish. |

5/6/2021 - rdk8 Does not like this wine: 88 pointsDisappointing -- this was way over the hill, "disintegrated" is the best word to describe it, consistent with the previous review. |

2010 Aubert Chardonnay Lauren Estate VineyardSonoma Coast more |
4/22/2021 - rdk8 Likes this wine: 95 pointsThis is everything I hope for in a Sonoma Coast Chardonnay -- tropical and green fruits on the nose, minerality with a slight backbone of acidity on the palate, and evolving over the course of the evening into more nutty notes and unctuous mouthfeel. I feel like this is drinking in it's prime right now. |

2007 Yalumba Viognier OrganicSouth Australia more |
4/25/2009 - rdk8 wrote: 86 pointsAgree with the previous tasting notes--this reminds me of NZ Sav Blanc. Lots of acidity, grapefruit, passionfruit. A little too much acidity for my taste, but could be a good summer wine with pasta salad. |

1/31/2009 - rdk8 wrote: 91 pointsInky in the glass, heavy ripe black fruit on the nose (plum, cherry, with hints of raspberry). Fruit continues with chocolate and leather on the palate. Great length, round mouthfeel with tannins softening nicely. Highly enjoyable. |

2005 Kistler Chardonnay Durell VineyardSonoma Coast more |
8/1/2008 - rdk8 wrote: 91 pointsStrong oak and toast on the nose, concentrated tropical and citrus flavors, and quite a bit of acidity on the finish. Tight and definitely needs more time in the bottle, but has the structure to age well. Did not really open up with time in the glass. I would hold a few years yet. |
