  August 25, 2023 - I thought I held on to this too long, but it is still drinking very well. Great balance of apricot, lemon, with just a touch of butter and oak. Well-made chardonnay.

  August 16, 2019 - A really nice RRV Chardonnay.
  
  Pale to straw yellow with a soft nose of bright apples, honey and light toasted oak.
  
  Medium body and the bright flavors continue with green apple, butterscotch, toasted almonds and vanilla spice. Decent finish and drinking very well.

  July 3, 2019 - This lively and creamy Chardonnay is drinking fine at the moment, and it's a fair value at under $50. Light yellow in color; medium in body; nose of brioche, lemon curd, and almond. Tastes of golden delicious apple, orange marmalade, and vanilla, with a finish that is both zippy and mouth-coating. With a little air, a chalky undercurrent sneaks into the wine - along with a hint of reduction (read: wateriness) - that take the wine back a notch, though it's still likable enough. 14.5% alcohol. Drink in next 6-12 months.
