Rivers-Marie

Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2023

Pear, chalk and floral nose. Apple, honeysuckle, slate and lemon meringue palate. The 23 Sonoma Coast Chard from Rivers-Marie is really crisp, light on its feet and lets the fruit shine through. — a year ago

Kosta Browne

One Sixteen Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2018

My first Kosta Browne chard! I like it! Opened it while cooking and it started with a nice lemon essence ... Over time it took on buttery notes with some toasted pear. Pairing just beautifully with my zucchini and pinenut pasta .... I may be deliriously happy, or my wine might taste like creme brûlée. — 6 years ago

Ceritas

Porter-Bass Vineyard Chardonnay 2017

A notch above the Charles Heintz for best Ceritas chard, IMO. Delightful, light and crisp. — 6 years ago

Chateau Montelena

Napa Valley Chardonnay 2021

Drank at VA with grilled chicken and mahi mahi, hummus, rice, and naan. Good pairing. Light oakiness, grass, very slight tang. I like it. Probably in moderation since I’m not generally a Napa chard fan. — a year ago

First time trying and wow - nicely woven integrated wine but my friend and fellow wine nerd @Shay A says it best so borrowing his comments from 2018 and I quote

“Jarvis winery is one of my all time favorite winery visits in Napa. Their caves are the most impressive I've seen, along with their natural springs running through the tunnels. Their merlot is my favorite out of Napa, and their
Cab Franc is a close second. This is 95% CF, 5% merlot. It balances ripe Napa CF and Loire Valley CF. Streak of green bell pepper down the middle with herbal spice, ripe
blackberry and stemmy dark fruits. There is plum, and spice cake on the finish. This needed an hour+ for the mid palate to beefen up and match the entry and finish”

Bravo and well said Shay - glad I found my patience with this wine bud

Hard to beat LF from a QPR perspective, or any other perspective when it comes to Cali Chard. Beautifully cut notes of river rock, lemon zest, sage pepper all in a restrained and balanced package. — 8 years ago

Nice view. Never a slam dunk with his Chardonnay. Either it’s just slightly overdone/ heavy-handed or in your case delicious. Cheers.

@David L I can see what you mean about his Chards being heavy-handed and full-throttle; definitely not a style that would be a slam dunk with everyone, for sure.
