Community Tasting Note

ChrisR Likes this wine:

Saturday, January 21, 2017 - Having seen some recent worrisome tasting notes that this wine might be already over the hill, I popped a bottle. While the intensely lemony flavors Rhys chardonnays often exhibit were muted, I did not pick up oxidative or butterscotch flavors that would suggest something was wrong. Oak influence predominated, both in the toasty, spicy flavors and in the soft texture. As I mentioned, the lemon and tropical fruit flavors were muted. The texture was soft, but delicate and not at all heavy. In most ways, it was a typical, well-made California chardonnay.
