Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2023

9.1

Pear, chalk and floral nose. Apple, honeysuckle, slate and lemon meringue palate. The 23 Sonoma Coast Chard from Rivers-Marie is really crisp, light on its feet and lets the fruit shine through. — a month ago

Once again, they were out of the wine I ordered and offered this. Once again, a nice choice. Great with the braised pork shank. — 6 months ago

Always a solid Chard. The neighborhood culdesac really enjoyed it. Nice balance between fruit and acidity. Pears and apples with some tartness. — 10 months ago

By far the best Kongsgaard Chard I’ve had (and I’ve had a lot) with an unexpected brightness and acidity. — 9 months ago

@Mike Evans I have not had one in a very long time Oak toned down?

Mike Evans

@Ira Schwartz The oak wasn’t too prominent, which was surprising since I’ve historically found Kongsgaard Chards to be too heavy and oaky for my taste. This one was much more balanced with good acidity, really enjoyable. I don’t know if it is a change in style or an outlier but I hope for the latter since I have friends on the list who subject me to Kongsgaard from time to time.

Chateau Montelena

Napa Valley Chardonnay 2021

Adam Baker

9.1

Drank at VA with grilled chicken and mahi mahi, hummus, rice, and naan. Good pairing. Light oakiness, grass, very slight tang. I like it. Probably in moderation since I’m not generally a Napa chard fan. — 10 days ago

Grgich Hills Estate

Napa Valley Chardonnay 2017

Sipping Fine Wine

9.0

The “King of Chardonnay” Mike Grgich farms w/o pesticides and certified organic. Aged 10 months, no MLF. Medium lemon color with aromas of ripe stone & citrus fruits. On the palate flavors of apple, apricot & citrus flavors, with honeysuckle & toasty oak notes. Good balance with acidity on medium+ finish ending with mineral notes. Not your typical CA Chard! — 4 months ago

Jarvis Winery

Will Jarvis' Science Project Napa Valley Cabernet Franc 2021

Jessica J

9.5

Jarvis will always have a special place in my heart and in the wine scene. To believe this was first made my Will Javis in 8th grade as a science project is iconic. You can taste the difference in using fresh oak barrels. This Cabernet franc would pair really well with lamb chops or a ribeye, Camembert cheese, or even some fire roasted veggies. — 9 months ago
