Russian River Valley Chardonnay

Super acid wonderland. Very citrus, limey. Alcohol nicey integrated along with the 40 percent new oak. You can't tell. Impressive.

Jan 13th, 2016Smooth, good acidity. Good with pork and fish. First time to try this Pinot, but will look for it again in the future!

Decent Chardonnay, maybe seemed a little thin at first, but really it is well balanced and richly flavored - good fruit, nice nose. Drinks very nicely. Maureen says "it was good!" We got it for about $20 on sale, maybe a little overpriced.

Deliciously juicy. Strong notes of cherry. Sweet and delightful.

Jul 24th, 2017Nice Chardonnay; buttery and rich with well blended fruit. Very pleasant to sip. A tiny bit oily in the nose, and very slightly acidic at the finish, but the overall effect is very nice. Maureen says, "good, but it has s slightly sour aftertaste that I don't care for."

Sweet cream with a hint of butter and pear on the nose. Coats the pallet with green apple and ripe pear. Soft acid and a long finish.

Had the 2013 at Royce and liked it better. But the 14 is very good. A year will soften the acidity and balance nicely we think. A very well balanced ML Chardonnay. The 13 may be Kylah's favorite Chardonnay right now. Soft and elegant but with a nice crispness, acidity, fruit, oak and a touch of butter. A great go-to Chard at this price point.
