Community Tasting Note

The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine:

Thursday, July 15, 2021 - Retail $17. Under screw cap. While this is listed at $17, it sells for a shade over $10 at retail. At that price? This is a steal. I have been telling the fine people at Rodney Strong that their wines are too inexpensive--few wine writers take a ten buck Chard all that seriously (particularly with a generic "California" appellation). But Justin Seidenfeld has once again proved his worth to the brand with a wine that really over-delivers. A bit of golden hue to the pale straw with aromas of lemon curd and oak (albeit subtle). The palate really is surprising, shocking, even. This really shows as a wine 3-4 times its price with rich citrus, an integrated degree of "butter" and a measured hand with the oak. Sure, it is closer to a "traditional" Cali Chard than the popular "unoaked" style, but this really is delicious.
