| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.5 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 2 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by drdebs on 12/23/2006 & rated 94 points: Very special cool-climate chardonnay from a Sebastapol vineyard. Rich straw color. Smells of ripe pear and honey give you to flavors of pear, vanilla, and a touch of lemon. The oak is so well integrated that you get the richness without any oaky flavor, just a honey/vanilla persistence from the aromas through the finish. A huge wine (15.5% alc/vol) kept in balance with impressive structure. Best chardonnay I've ever had at this price, complex and well-made.

Wa sit b/c it was too much for the food? or just over the top? Still, well made, w/good quality grapes. (1598 views) |
| Eric Kent Wine Cellars 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 CountySonoma Coast * Sonoma Coast AVA (Wikipedia)
