 Tasted by trankin on 5/28/2006 & rated 87 points: Memorial Day Weekend BBQ's; 5/27/2006-5/28/2006 (My place): Good quaffable warm-weather chard. Was hoping for a bit more substance and complexity to go with the tuna steaks, but still a nice wine. (2050 views)
 Tasted by rmodak on 4/25/2006 & rated 89 points: Light butterscotch, fresh pears, firm acid. (1540 views)
 Tasted by cookie7 on 1/13/2006 & rated 87 points: Not over oaked or over buttered, in fact not a whole lot of anything. Balanced, but a little to restrained and not enough going on. (1578 views)
 Tasted by LoireFan on 12/16/2005 & rated 90 points: Best inexpensive Cal chard I've ever had. And I really haven't liked the other Blackjack Ranch Chards I've drunk. This one so surprised me. Tremendous value. (1502 views)

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
