  December 14, 2008 - Integrated oak with vanilla flavors, while the wine makes you think of pineapple, pear, and lemon. Elegant, pretty big, and enjoyable.

  November 22, 2007 - Drank Wed 11.21 at home. Uncertain as to who gifted us the bottle. Nice soft yellow-gold color. smooth. very buttery/oaky--to the exclusion of other flavors. drinkable, but, a bit too much oak for me.

  June 13, 2007 - Very good. Oak, vanilla, pear, melon and passion fruit. This possesses nice acidity and very tasty.

  May 27, 2007 - scents of white chocolate, custard, plain yogurt, melon and lemon. Flavors of tropical fruit and butter. California style. Oak is well integrated though even though its huge.

  February 22, 2007 - Lemon peel, nice oak, complexity increases through finish, though I agree that if you are used to high alc %, buttery over the top Cali chards this wine might be a bit too subtle. Not overdone - but refined, like the RRV should be. A hint of toffee helps bridge the gap along the way. Great find if you like this sort of thing!
