May 6, 2023 - Continues to improve!
This seems to be a little richer / oakier than other RM vintages - which I like.
Hit the spot tonight - Derby wine! -

March 22, 2023 - This wine hits all the right spots at the $30 price point. Balanced, good depth and acidity. Delicious!

August 20, 2022 - Opened, poured and let sit about 15-20 min. Then, pretty close to my 8/10/21 note, but the finish may be getting a touch flabby. Still nice taste, good balance, very drinkable, but losing some support on the back end. Probably can go longer, but I think it is just past its peak and will drink my remaining bottles over the next 6 months.

August 20, 2022 - What a great entry Chardonnay to the Rivers Marie portfolio of wines. Tropical fruit notes combine with light spice from the well integrated wood. Good depth and texture. This wine has a great quality to price ratio.
