Well structured and good with seafood pasta. I will get more. (576 views) | | | Tasted by KTelaak_Buffalo on 2/17/2019 & rated 94 points: What a wonderful surprise. Complex yet clean. Not much oak and an interesting tannic finish. Everyone enjoyed this Chardonnay tonight. Will buy again!

Not naked, unoaked, or anything like that, but slightly on the acidic side of the equation. The oak is there but definitely takes a back seat. Not sure about the $40 price tag - but I'll chalk this up to a style preference thing, as others might find it exactly what they are looking for. (1099 views) | | | Tasted by Tahlequahdave1972 on 8/24/2017 & rated 93 points: I have most recently chosen the restrained style of chardonnay over the "fruit forward," so this wine was a very real detour from that direction. Aerated but not decanted. Yellow gold in the glass. Apricot, nectarine and lemon drops on the nose. Flavors of peach, tangerine, orange peel, butterscotch, vanilla and pound cake. Generous, smooth, moderately long finish. Hints of oak on the nose but all elements are balanced and fully integrated. Definitely a winner, just not my style of winemaking. Rated 94 points by WE. I can't quite get there, but this is still a well made, high quality offering. (656 views) |
| Foley Estates Producer websiteChardonnay 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
