| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.8 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 26 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by franm on 4/6/2020 & rated 88 points: cheers - nice Chardonnay but not 90 points....drinking well right now (756 views) | | | Tasted by WineGuyFL on 8/29/2019 & rated 90 points: My last bottle was a little off. This one was back on track with my prior experience. Might even be a little better than my rating. Held up well on the second night. (902 views) | | | Tasted by WineGuyFL on 4/15/2019 & rated 88 points: I have a few bottles left of both the 2013 and 2014. Neither compares well with an earlier vintage I had of this one. Also, this vintage is not holding up well......I would be a drinker. (1017 views) | | | Tasted by jmcmchi on 2/9/2019 & rated 91 points: Light oak notes are a complement to the fruit and acidity
Light gold colour, white fruit and lemon, oak barely noticeable
Smooth on palate, nicely managed malo is now showing its worth. So balanced I would not have called it for Californian without knowing what it is (1075 views) | | | Tasted by Ecoenophile on 6/23/2018 & rated 91 points: Rich and enjoyable. Sorry it was my last bottle. (1613 views) | | | Tasted by rmalloy on 11/29/2017 & rated 89 points: Tasted blind. Baked apple and custard character with some lemon and cinnamon. Modern styled but not grossly fat or oaky. There is merit to this style. Rating: 89.
Guess the wine: Chardonnay. New World. California. (1778 views) | | | Tasted by Stevenwsims on 8/17/2017 & rated 93 points: Great chard. (1682 views) | | | Tasted by BernieMSY on 4/29/2017 & rated 91 points: Nice wine. Great mouthfeel, fruit forward. Moderate levels of residual sugar. Mango, jasmine, tropical lushness. Good finish. (1770 views) | | | Tasted by ahwt on 3/15/2017 & rated 89 points: The nose on the wine was very nice, but the wine taste was just a little above average. I would not buy this vintage again as it is overpriced. (1577 views) | | | Tasted by jmcmchi on 1/24/2017: 15% new French oak, partial malo
Similar impressions to others'; acidity is enough to give charm and freshness to the oak notes
Some oak and white fruit on nose. Palate has slightly creamy texture, spicy white fruit, mineral and stone (1299 views) | | | Tasted by The Count of Notre Dame on 1/13/2017 & rated 89 points: Very solid! (1202 views) | | | Tasted by WineGuyFL on 12/27/2016 & rated 90 points: Fresh, acidic, balanced. Very good and similar to a prior vintage I owned.....I believe it was the 2010. (830 views) | | | Tasted by iamandyc on 11/14/2016 & rated 91 points: Very nice bright chardonnay. Restrained but elegant with delicate but lasting finish. Oak supports but doesn't obscure the fruit. (1025 views) | | | Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 8/30/2016 & rated 92 points: About 15 months since I first tasted this wine and it's progressing nicely. Aromas of apples, limes and peach nectar on top of honey, chalk and salted almond. The acidity sings, making the wine precise and crystal clean, but it sports generous texture as well. Pretty peaches, limes and tropical fruit notes blend so well with these notes of minerals, river rocks, and a Muscadet-like note of seashells and ocean spray. Still young with lots of complexity to unfold (993 views) | | | Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 5/13/2015 & rated 92 points: Some Blind Cali Chards: Light gold color. Nose shows yellow apple, juicy peaches, lime zest, some honeyed tea and light almond elements. A creamy, richness to the wine but the acid cuts through and jolts it to life. Peaches, yellow apples, some papaya, kiwi, lime drizzled on top. Honeyed notes, along with almond and spiced tea, but it stays juicy and tangy. A lasting sense of mineral and river rocks, clean and bright, chalk and seashells. Very complex, could show a lot to the patient. A wonderful blend of sunshiny fruit mixed with pure, mineral elegance. (2317 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

https://unwindwine.blogspot.com/2021/09/hermanhof-wines-herman-missouri.html 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 Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
