Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Monthly WTF wine group tasting. This month’s theme was chardonnay from any region or vintage. Nice eclectic bunch! All wines tasted blind.
My first thought when I smelled this, and again when I tried it, was “this is so familiar.” I was correct. I had the 2016 vintage courtesy of @Shawn R a year ago for the WNH event in San Antonio. This was so rich and flavorful! Sporting a warm and soft profile, it shows baking spices on the nose with powdered sugar and honey roasted cashews. On the palate it’s full of Creme brûlée, banana pudding and savory truffles toward the finish. Drinks a touch hot. If you enjoy the bigger style, you’ll love this. Thanks Ryan.

Focused wine that is very well defined-mineral-laden, a bouquet that gets your attention. Crisp, the acidity is perfect, with wonderful tension. Buy this wine. As a side note, the wax top and detailed label add a nice touch to the overall experience-
