2018 Goodfellow Family Cellars Chardonnay Dundee Hills

4/18/2021 - Ortiz Brown Likes this wine:

90 points

Very, very pale straw in the glass with a reticent nose of green apple. On the palate the wine features flavors of pear, citrus, honey. There’s a hint of oak, probably from used barrels, though Goodfellow’s web site doesn’t provide any details for this particular bottling. There's a streak of minerality supported with mild acidity to a long finish. Really like this!

Big bunch of minerality and stone like slate. Also tropical fruit, citrus fruit and peach, petrol and melon. Beautiful acidity, with hardly any sweetness. Also a hint of flowers. Very good one

Tasty, but not nearly deserving of the hype. This is nowhere near as good as the great pintos of Cali or Oregon.
