 Tasted by r.allen on 8/6/2017: Had with garlic boiled shrimp. We both enjoyed the wine. Not shur it is worth the money. But still good (1034 views)
 Tasted by bravo.solares on 7/4/2016 & rated 91 points: Excellent. A tad creamier and heavier than the Estate Chard, but still crisp and with beautiful acidity. More apple than citrus. (1367 views)
 Tasted by tzelmer on 5/13/2016 & rated 92 points: Spicy, concentrated tree fruit, slight pineapple note. Juicy, perfectly ripe Winesap apple flavor (if you haven't had a heritage Winesap, find one and try it). Great bright acidity melds with a slightly creamy mouthfeel. Balances on the edge of richness but does not fall over the cliff. Very nice. (1253 views)
 Tasted by JOsgood on 5/11/2016: Loved this. Crisp and clean tasting with a subtle note of mint. Loved the balance and clarity. (1464 views)

Chardonnay

The Chardonnay Grape

USA

American 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.

California

2021 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
