Community Tasting Notes (average 85.4 pts. and median of 86 pts. in 16 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by trastevere on 12/30/2017 & rated 89 points: Fresh style, maybe a bit of malo lactic providing a lemon curd quality, green apples and a good pink grapefruit finish. (1267 views)
 Tasted by Handjoshua on 9/13/2017 & rated 85 points: Nice Chard. Very smooth low acid and great taste. (1421 views)
 Tasted by Baron Slick on 7/13/2017 & rated 88 points: Clean nose of pears, apples, melon, and a hint of Jack fruit. The palate is medium bodied, with agreeable balance and a touch of brightness. Well done for such a high production bottling. (1488 views)
 Tasted by jeffal66 on 5/21/2017 & rated 86 points: Funny, I'd guess this spent some time in a barrel. Light vanilla, toastiness, medium-plus acidity, clean and lasting on the palate. Subtle burn on the finish. Not overly exciting, fair value. (1569 views)
 Tasted by chablis28 on 3/9/2017 & rated 87 points: Balanced value Chardonnay that sees no oak and yet showed a little toast on the palate along with citrus and mineral. 13.9 Alc on the label means its likely a little higher than that and could probably use a tad more lift as a result. Decent with pan fried walleye tonight. About right at $10 on sale. (2089 views)
 Tasted by karaseke on 2/8/2017 & rated 87 points: Reasonably tart, citrus & melon (717 views)
 Tasted by Double-A on 1/24/2017 & rated 80 points: Subtle and simple; apple fruit for lack of a better description. Not much here to recommend even at half the retail price.
2/5 (698 views)
 Tasted by vesuvius on 11/9/2016 & rated 86 points: Fruity, a touch of minerality. A little musty on the nose. Not as crisp as expected. (736 views)
 Tasted by Thewaterdoctor on 10/15/2016 & rated 91 points: Very nice wine, light with a pear and apple nose and a long pear finish to savor. (684 views)
 Tasted by Sourdough on 9/14/2016 & rated 78 points: Tasted at a bar with a limited wine list. Bitter and slightly oxixized. Very modest nose of melon. Melon dominates flavor with some peach but the bitterness builds to an unpleasant finish. (684 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
