| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.3 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | Tasted by wdcwineguys on 9/1/2023: Over the hill. This wine is on the downward slope. Pinnacle on the nose. Deep yellow straw color. A bit sweet. After 30 minutes of air a nose of raisins and stewed fruit developed. I don’t think it’s flawed, I think it’s past its prime. (130 views) | | Tasted by wdcwineguys on 2/20/2019 & rated 91 points: On the nose lemon peel, citrus, fresh cut grass, mild scent of vanilla. Buttery smooth, but not sweet. Very well balanced. This is quite enjoyable. Drank at cellar temp. (656 views) |

| Chamisal Vineyards Producer website The First Vineyard Planted In The Edna Valley Appellation In 1973, Chamisal Nestles Five Miles Inland Against The Santa Lucia Mountains, Halfway Between San Francisco And Los Angeles, On The Rugged California Coast. Part Of An Original Spanish Land Grant, This Historic 80-Acre Property- Formerly Operating Under The Name Of Domaine Alfred- Is Planted Mostly To Pinot Noir And Chardonnay, With A Few Acres Of Syrah, Grenache, And Pinot Gris. The Vines Thrive In The Dry Rocky Terrain, As Does The Fragrant Chamise, A Native White-Flowered Shrub That Inspired The Name Of The Property. The Edna Valley Appellation, With Its Unique Geography, Possesses A Near Perfect Combination Of Soil Type And Climate For Wine Grapes. With The Cooling Pacific Ocean Nearby, The Long Temperate Growing Season Extends The Amount Of Time A Grape Stays On The Vine To Develop Its Flavors. This Hang Time Paired With The Calcerous, Clay-Rich Soil On The Property Produce Fruit With Exceptional Intensity And Complex Flavors, Often Showing A Distinctive Character That Some Fondly Call "Chamisal Spice."Chardonnay The Chardonnay GrapeUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
