There's a slight bit of fruit as well, and it's not the buttery, flaccid stuff that is so common. Instead, there's some real power and heft here, with a fair amount of acidity to boot. It's definitely not as good as the 2000 Boillot CC I had next to this, but there is some serious material here.

Not as lean or crisp as expected but more syrupy lemon and tropical fruit with a touch of saline. I'd start drinking these. (1768 views) | | | Tasted by T.E.D. on 10/28/2016 & rated 92 points: Medium straw color. Somewhat restrained nose showing lean tropical fruit, toasted hazelnut, lemon curd, tennis ball and white oak. Palate leans very Burgundian in style. Showing elegant and medium bodied Chardonnay. Flavor profile light honey, white flower, hints of vanilla and oak. Beautifully made and well structured. Will certainly develop with age. (2130 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 10/4/2016: That is stunningly good chardonnay. Shows a touch of the ripeness of Hudson on the front of the palate but then quite crisp and clean. 25% new french oak and 1/3 fermented in egg and a 1/3 in stainless. Darn thats great Chardonnay. (2157 views) | | | Tasted by Zuperdaave on 6/18/2016 & rated 90 points: Delicious. Light with subtle lemon and a hint of butter. (2166 views) | | | Tasted by Matt Scott on 5/30/2015 & rated 93 points: So tropical, with papaya spear, guava jelly and banana, then showing stone and steel. A gorgeous mouthfeel and such a jazzy finish. There's structure and an animal onto itself. Drink now - 2022. (2297 views) |
| Failla Producer websiteChardonnay The Chardonnay GrapeUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Napa ValleySt. Helena |
