Avant Garde Collection Chardonnay Barrel Fermented 2019

‘19 Holden Manx Barrel Fermented Chardonnay. Standout orchard fruits highlighted by peach pit/mango mid palate…not hiding behind toasty new oak. It’s still creamy & round, with just enough acidity to balance. — 3 years ago

@Ron R Sean & his son @Greg Ballington started importing wine for distributing from South Africa. This is one of many wines they are carrying. Don’t know how many states they’re in as of yet.

Interplanetary Traveler Gamay Blend

Honestly, so good. It’s like a party in your mouth. I like that it’s kinda sour but smooth and refreshing at the same time. — 6 years ago

imminently drinkable. Medium body citrus and balance. Want some age for it really to shine, though. — 3 years ago

"Johan Vineyard" Willamette Valley Chardonnay

Leesy, natty chard. Can’t help but wonder if there might be more tension in the wine if it wasn’t 2015. Not my favorite from Holden, but still tasty! — 5 years ago

9.0

Medium ruby red. Layered nose with black cherries, anise, graphite and a bit woody. Medium tannins (5.5/10) and medium plus bodied. Tons of wood on the palate with raspberries, dark bitter cocoa and gravel. Medium plus finish with solid acidity. Drink till 2025. — 6 years ago
