December 19, 2023 - My last bottle of six. The drink window said 2022. Still holding up well but glad I drank it before it starts to fade like some of my other 2015 and earlier Rochioli chards. The 4 to 6 year window seems to be best for these.

October 3, 2020 - green apple, lemon, nectarine, spice, glycerine and cedar. the cedar becomes intrusive in the finish. A little sherried on the finish. Seems a little tired, drink up.

August 27, 2020 - green apple, lemon, nectarine, spice, glycerine and cedar. the cedar becomes intrusive in the finish. South River remains my least favorite chardonnay that Rochioli produces. My next to last bottle. Nothing wrong with it, but not as expressive or unique as their other offerings.

July 3, 2020 - Reductive. white flowers, chaomile. Asian pear. unctous. Oak very well integrated. ML for sure. Not Mantzanas/butter. High in Etoh, moves it out of balance for us.
