Barra of Mendocino Reserve Chardonnay 2021, Mendocino County, California

Flowery on the nose with a golden
color and yellow tint.

Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with red and yellow apples, spices, pears, light wood, light almonds and light vanilla.

Medium on the finish with limes and almonds.

Fruit forward and easy drinking.

Nicely balanced with mild complexity. Neither bitter nor tart.

Good by itself as a sipping wine.

Would be nice to revisit it in a couple of years.

100% Organic Chardonnay grapes were fermented and aged in oak barrels for 7 months (30% new).

This is the Hernan @Delectable . Nice attack and mid-palate, light-bodied but the finish fails with a wood note that is off putting to me. — 2 years ago

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with mild complexity.

Showing red currants, cherries, plums, sweet strawberries, light oak, bitter herbs, spices, light earth and black pepper.

Soft tannins on the finish with tangy raspberries.

This is an enjoyable Pinot Noir from Mendocino County. Tangy and interesting. Fruit forward and spicy. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.
