| Community Tasting Notes (average 85.3 pts. and median of 86 pts. in 19 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by PattyPoo19 on 8/24/2015 & rated 88 points: Really crisp and refreshing. The oak didn't take over but was still very evident. Really liked the balance. Would definitely purchase again. Perfect for a summer patio, with or without food. (3212 views) | | | Tasted by Umay Ceviker on 6/3/2015 & rated 87 points: Brass coloured. Ripe aromas of tropical fruit, like canned pineapple along with burnt sugar and butter. Despite being overwhelmed by the vanilla and caramel flavours and the buttery, honeyed edge this manages to be crisp on its aftertaste. (3305 views) | | | Tasted by grapenomad on 5/11/2015 & rated 80 points: Clear lemon yellow of medium intensity. The nose is clean of medium intensity and developing aromas of green olives, dill, lime zest, spices, minerality and MLF. The wine is dry with medium (-) acidity and all other elements medium. It's a good wine, but not really a true representative of the Chardonnay grape. It is not multi-layered, but still has a good balance of all its elements. Drink now or in the next 1-2 years. (3375 views) | | | Tasted by Downspout on 4/4/2015: Rich Oaky (3462 views) | | | Tasted by Mike Kopanski on 7/25/2014 & rated 85 points: Maybe not quite my favorite style of Chardonnay, maybe even not quite yet fully integrated. We have already tasted the 2013, which was quite fruit forward. In comparison, this one is showing a little more oak nuances, spice, and solid acid profile. There is a slight amount of bitterness on the lips and palate. Starts off with pear, apple and pineapple. Some vanilla and lanolin from oak. Gooseberry, pineapple and baking spice. A serious hit of acid. Leaves an acidic, French oak finish. (4647 views) | | | Tasted by Man in Black on 9/1/2013: The wine is clear and bright with a pale lemon colour and presence of legs. The nose is clean and youthful, with medium intensity aromas of bananas, green apples, fresh pineapples, fresh peaches, vanilla and walnuts. It's dry in the mouth with a medium acidity, medium balanced alcohol, medium body and medium intensity flavours of bananas, fresh pineapples, walnuts and hints of vanilla. Medium finish. It's a good quality wine, balanced and well made, easy to drink with a decent amount of concentration. But it lacks aromatic complexity and it does not have a marked identity, typicity is lost. Nothing to remark, and industrial wine without defects, but without virtues. Drink now, but has potential to develop some complexity and integrate better the oak in the next 1-2 years. (3199 views) |

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
