| Community Tasting Notes (average 85.8 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 11 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by LiquidThoughts.de on 12/28/2023 & rated 86 points: ENGLISH:
Nose: With a little time, the nose opens up from rather monotonous citrus notes to passion fruit, some grapefruit and vanilla, as well as coconut notes
Taste: Present, lemon, green apple, you notice a clearer woody note from the start and vanilla/coconut shavings, not just in the finish or occasionally flashing, but from front to back, light nuts
Finish: The most distinctive of the finishes so far, which is probably due to the barrel ageing, drier, more acidic than the others, citrus peel, a hint of mint, not complex, rather a short bang
Comment: I have to say, of all the wines here on the entry-level Chardonnay tasting, it took the most time to really develop in the glass. Initially quite aggressive wood vs lemon impression, the finer notes only came out after 20-30 minutes and it became more balanced.
ORIGINAL (GERMAN):
Nose: Mit etwas Zeit öffnet sich die Nase von recht eintönigen Zitrusnoten zu Maracuja, etwas Grapefruit und Vanille, sowie Kokosnoten,
Taste: Präsent, Zitrone, grüner Apfel, man merkt von Beginn an eine deutlichere Holznote und Vanille/Kokosraspeln, nicht nur im Finish oder mal aufblitzend, sondern von vorne bis hinten, helle Nüsse
Finish: Der markanteste der Abgänge bisher, was wahrscheinlich an der Fasslagerung liegt, trockener, säuerlicher als die anderen, Zitrusschalen, ein Hauch Minze, nicht komplex, eher ein kurzer Knall
Comment: Ich muss sagen, von allen Weinen hier hat er die meiste Zeit gebraucht, um sich wirklich zu entwickeln im Glas. Anfangs recht aggressiver Holz vs. Zitrone-Eindruck, kamen die feineren Noten erst nach 20-30 Minuten heraus und er wurde balancierter.

Mer sjov end god (641 views) | | | Tasted by NapaCabSavLover on 9/1/2021 & rated 88 points: Fruit on the nose.Creamy mouth feel. Vanilla, toasted notes. Weeknight pasta.

Nice on a warm evening (902 views) | | | Tasted by Swest on 5/14/2021 & rated 89 points: Oak and citrus nose. Melon and citrus are prominent with notes of saline, oak and vanilla followed by light citrus acidity and light tannin. Bourbon barrel appears as a butter caramel note but the finish is oaky.

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
