2023– Best white wine I’ve ever had. So smooth and perfectly sweet. Paired with chicken paillard and Caesar salad with mom and dad — 24 days ago
Pale yellow with pleasing aromas of citrus and tropical fruits, adding in spice and some biscuit notes. On the palate complex palate of flavors, fresh fruit, pineapple, lemon, grapefruit, peaches and Asian pears. Slight earthiness with a smooth and creamy well balanced finish ending with a gentle yeasty character. Very nice! Consistent quality! Will age well! — a month ago

I used to like the winery a lot, but recent experience has been mediocre at best. But this RRV chard is very good.
The fragrant nose offers vibrant citrus, green apple, and white peach with a touch of yeast and touch of crushed seashell. The palate is lively with nice texture that leans just lightly towards creaminess. 6 months in 49% stainless, 46% new French oak and 6% in concrete eggs. — a month ago

One of the most aromatic and expressive Chardonnays from the Russian River Valley. The nose is a vibrant bouquet of toasted hazelnut, lemon zest, apricot, cantaloupe, lavender, and crème brûlée. Utterly captivating.
On the palate, layers unfold: apricot pastry, baked apple, lemon curd, dried pineapple, and honeysuckle, with hints of tarragon and nougat. Medium to full-bodied with bright acidity, a silky texture, and a long, brioche-tinged finish.
Superbly balanced between fruit, oak, and freshness. Delicious now but built to evolve. 🍋🍍🥐 cheers!! — 14 days ago
