July 9, 2013 - I know that we both liked it. Pleasing example of a Russian River Vally Chardonnay, based on our experience. I don't remember specifics about nose, taste, finish, etc., unfortunately. Want to compare this single-vineyard chard to others by Iron Horse.
May 23, 2012 - Nose forward with oak but palate really bright acidic and refreshing. Very food friendly. Smooth and enjoyable.
May 18, 2012 - Popped 1 hour before first pour, consumed over 3 hours. Nose: Medium plus expressiveness, lemon custard, vanilla, buttered bread, and white flowers. Palate: Full bodied, nice creamy mouth-feel, green apple and lemon pie with buttered crust. Finish: Medium plus length sense of semi-tart tropical fruit and vanilla. The last of 4 bottles, all of which exceeded expectations.
March 21, 2012 - Consumed on vacation in Costa Rica, no formal note taken - just scored.
January 3, 2012 - Really nice! Medium Bodied and balanced.
November 24, 2011 - Popped and poured, consumed over 4 hours. Nose: Medium expressiveness, lemon, apple, butter, and wet stone. Palate:: Medium-plus bodied, great balance, creamy mouth feel, lemon custard, pear, and vanilla. Finish: Lengthy sense of creamy citrus fruit - tasty stuff, very enjoyable.
October 4, 2011 - Popped and poured, consumed over 3 hours. Nose: Very expressive, citrus - grape fruit and green apple, peaches and cream, and white florals. Palate: Medium plus bodied, excellent balance, tasty pear and apple fruit up front which carry nicely through the mid-palate, turns a little creamy towards the back-end with just a little harshness on the edges. Finish is long and tasty, dominated by sweet citrus fruit. I'm not typically a white wine fan but this is an excellent effort by Iron Horse.
