Decanted for 20 minutes, chilled. A clear light yellow in the glass. Some citrus and minerality on the nose. The medium to plus bodied palate showed lemon, yellow apple, minerality, some oak and balancing acidity. A well-made wine that seems to have matured nicely when compared to the TNs written in 2019. It may continue to do so thus extending the drink window appropriately.

Very heavy on the oak and vanilla. Generally I'm a huge fan of Martinelli Chards, but this was a bit over the top, especially for casual sipping. Went pretty well with Thanksgiving turkey, though. Needs the right food.

Yellow wine with a bouquet and flavor of apples, and pear-apples with some mineral notes. Good balance with a fairly long finish. Pleasant wine.

High quality RRV meets high quality oak. In 2022, too young to realize potential. I’ll drink my last bottle after 2026.
