Color: Rich golden yellow. Very slight haze. Nose: Lemon and lime citrus, some apple and a hint of herbs. On the palate: Full bodied, lemon lime and grapefruit meet moderate "plushness" with bright acidity that plays nicely with this viscous wine. The mid palate has a twinge of minerality which I like. The finish is clean, crisp and not perceptibly hot despite the 14.2 alcohol. Good wine with dinner at home. Simple, but not boring. Good Russian River source.

This tasted much better at the tasting room. We had this with baked red snapper after finishing a bottle of V. Sattui Johannesberg riesling and the riesling was much better. Some citrus on the nose and palate, but not very interesting to the taste buds.

Slight baked apple notes,mineral backbone, crisp, medium body; good, clean and straight Chardonnay. Great chardonnay with fried chicken.

It had an anise smell. On on the palate was citrus and pear. There was a little acidity. Overall there wasn't much. It was a C+ at best.
