| Community Tasting Notes (average 88 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 8 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by rmcnees on 6/27/2015 & rated 87 points: Butter colored, medium bodied, slightly tart on opening with layer of acidity, tone of green apple, tropical fruits, hints of lemon and hints nutty almond. Tartness and acidity conflicted with lobster tail and lemon on previous tasting but complimented the sockeye salmon nicely tonight.

It consisist of butter, passion fruit and honeydew flavors with a medium bodied frame. The color is brilliant! I was surprised to find tiny bubbles on the bottom of the glass while drinking. Cheers!

(1667 views) | | | Tasted by CasaHernandez on 3/24/2010: paired with a simple pesto sauce, cheese ravioli. I really enjoyed this wine. I'm not usually a chardonnay drinker, but this one surprised me. I loved the crispness, and my guess is it didn't hurt that the alcohol content was a bit higher (14.2). I think it gave it an almost "fizzy" taste, a pop, if you will. I really enjoyed this and plan on buying some for the summer. (1966 views) | | | Tasted by hutch on 3/23/2010 & rated 87 points: Richer style. The oak can be felt. Rich, tropical fruits. Heavy duty chard, but if you like the style, it's pleasant and nice. The price isn't over the top, either. (1552 views) |
| Fritz Winery 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 CountyRussian River Valley Russian River Valley Winegrowers Association | Wikipedia |
