Community Tasting Notes (average 88.6 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by tomoem on 7/1/2021 & rated 89 points: I can't improve upon the notes of CT member JASON WU. I got the same impressions from my tasting and reiterate his notes as if mine. Bravo to Jason. (1403 views)
 Tasted by Jason Wu on 6/8/2021 & rated 89 points: Medium gold in colour. Ripe and sweet on the nose, canned pineapple, dried fruit, vanilla, very buttery, honey, heavily oaked (American). On the palate, big sweet oak flavour is dominating. Lack of acidity to hold the wine. Can’t say it’s my style. Good to pair with brie though. (1327 views)
 Tasted by glassofhans on 5/9/2021 & rated 89 points: This wine is more acidic than I'd have expected from a Californian Chard (and this is a good thing), the Oak is still a little overpowering in my view, mainly drinking Burg Chards, but not completely out of balance. I'd recommend this for daily drinking (1212 views)
 Tasted by BootDragger on 12/10/2020 & rated 87 points: Kim and I liked it. (1407 views)

Chardonnay

The Chardonnay Grape

USA

American 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.

California

2021 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
