| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.2 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 13 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by lachord on 9/22/2023 & rated 90 points: Very pale yellow color. Notes of lemon, pear, and river rock. (144 views) | | | Tasted by WojoWine on 5/7/2023 & rated 89 points: Very oakey. (214 views) | | | Tasted by BHRH on 5/23/2022 & rated 90 points: Nice ripe apples, some citrus aromas. Mid-weight but energetic palate with a combination of orchard and tropical fruits and a slightly spicy finish with a hint of minerality. A bit of malolactic, complementary oak, and just enough acidity on the finish to give confidence that this will last a couple more years. (616 views) | | | Tasted by CLL on 11/15/2021 & rated 92 points: Bright acidity, lime, mineral, moderate malolactic. Quite nice. (882 views) | | | Tasted by ohne_musik on 6/28/2021 & rated 87 points: Decent Central Coast Chardonnay. A bit too much toasty oak and not enough acid for my liking, but there's a bit of mineral tension and bright lemon-grapefruit component that keeps it from becoming ponderous. (1102 views) | | | Tasted by Oberhau on 3/7/2021 & rated 90 points: Very nice Chardonnay. Initially a touch tight but all elements melded together and creaminess emerged over time. Oak is well-integrated and not overpowering. (931 views) | | | Tasted by taz0522 on 12/31/2019 & rated 82 points: Light fruit flavor that was slightly dry. Finished smoothly. (1131 views) |
| Fess Parker 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 Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
