| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.6 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 14 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Gymcoach11 on 2/12/2015 & rated 90 points: Paired wine with sauted chicken thigh, mushrooms and asparagus. Wine poured deep golden color. Nose was very faint with hints of Apple,melon, and a tiny bit of earth. On the palate it is very acidic but not too much where it makes it hard to enjoy. The apple and melon notes linger nicely and you also get a slight hint of toasted oak. Overall a very nice wine from one of my favorite wineries! The wind did stand up well with the meal and more interesting flavors developed when paired with the food.

Had a nice level of acid but it had a little bitterness the I'm not used to tasting in chards.

(849 views) | | | Tasted by dutradan@msn.com on 7/24/2014 & rated 91 points: Drank this last night with Garlic Shrimp and homemade spinach pasta. It was a hit with the three of us. Sorry for not taking detailed notes but we were enjoying it so much along with the meal I didn't take detailed notes. From memory it was great. Soft edges but still with plenty acid to hold it together. Looking forward to my second bottle which we will drink sometime this year.

But it's missing body and minerals to hold it together. This is not one I'd seek out. (1294 views) |
| Dehlinger 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 Sonoma CountyMendocino CountyRussian River Valley Russian River Valley Winegrowers Association | Wikipedia |
