| Community Tasting Notes (average 81.3 pts. and median of 81 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by merlot78 on 4/29/2013 & rated 84 points: The wine looks Straw colored. The legs are Medium. It smells like Strawberry, and Pear.
It tastes like Strawberry, Apple, Pear, and faint Oak with a hint of vanilla. The body is Light/Medium. The wine has Smooth texture. The wine finishes Medium. Very drinkable but kind of non descript. (2447 views) | | | Tasted by Annie1 on 6/4/2012 & rated 83 points: Pleasant easy drinking every day chard. No outstanding characteristics but enjoyable while sitting out on the deck on a summer evening. (2732 views) | | | Tasted by fullpour on 8/19/2011: Tasteful, not over-the-top Napa chardonnay at a more than reasonable price. Kind of in-between, though, style-wise - not a steely, stainless chard, not a buttery, oaky California monster either - more of a middle-of-the-road, please-everyone-at-the-wedding-reception style. You could do a hell of a lot worse for eight bucks. (1981 views) |

Oakville Chardonnay is not easy to come by and the acquisition of this wine underscores the massive glut of Chardonnay from the 2009 harvest. Our 2009 Oakville Chardonnay was sourced from one of Napa’s largest farmers (managing over 2000 acres) that also happens to own a custom crush facility. They made the wine from perfectly ripe fruit brought in long before the rains that tortured Cabernet growers later in the season. To be honest, there is not a lot about the vineyard that we can tell you without giving away the name but who cares, the wine is great.Chardonnay 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)Oakville |
