Honey, pear, hints of apple & melon. Peach, gold apple flavor s. Just delicious. (290 views) | | | Tasted by leachriscellar on 11/27/2020 & rated 91 points: Big & powerful, definitely a food wine. Can age a couple of years to level out. (394 views) | | | Tasted by MattMauldin on 11/1/2020 & rated 92 points: Pale gold color. Expressive nose of citrus zest, rose hips, crushed stone, nutmeg and gingerbread. Showing richer yellow pear fruits on the palate, with hints of zesty citrus along with toasted hazelnut and spices. Roundly textured and full density throughout, balanced with moderate acid and finishing with broad-grained fleshy structure and nicely lingering depth.

(433 views) | | | Tasted by leachriscellar on 8/16/2020 & rated 93 points: Rich & clear gold color. Gold apple, pear, cinnamon on the nose. Peach, honeydew flavors. Apple pie & pear on finish. Lovely. (415 views) | | | Tasted by MattMauldin on 1/31/2020 & rated 93 points: Pale gold color. Vibrant aromatics of lemon verbena, crushed stone, gingerbread spices, hints of pear and acacia. Dense and rich palate, with flavors of white peach, salted caramel & hazelnut spices, bedrock earth and hints of white pepper. Terrific complexity, succulent flavors and rounded edges. Finishes with very nice intensity. The most terroir-driven and my favorite of the White Rock Chardonnays. Excellent vintage. Drink/hold. (374 views) | | | Tasted by Announcer on 12/24/2019 & rated 92 points: Exquisite, both with food and on its own. Complex but subtle flavors.
Paired beautifully with roasted chicken thighs with garlic and olives.
If you are repelled by typical over-oaked, buttery California chardonnay, try this before giving up on this varietal for life. (226 views) | | | Tasted by Eric Guido on 9/22/2019 & rated 89 points: The nose was rich, showing crushed stone minerals and lime-infused wild herbs with sweet peach. On the palate, I found soft textures, giving way to ripe apple with hints of almond and vanilla. The finish was fresh with oily textures slowly fading from the senses. (1241 views) |
| White Rock Vineyards 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 Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Napa ValleySt. Helena |
