Russian River Valley Chardonnay

Super acid wonderland. Very citrus, limey. Alcohol nicey integrated along with the 40 percent new oak. You can't tell. Impressive.

Decent Chardonnay, maybe seemed a little thin at first, but really it is well balanced and richly flavored - good fruit, nice nose. Drinks very nicely. Maureen says "it was good!" We got it for about $20 on sale, maybe a little overpriced.

Aug 12th, 2017Nice Chardonnay; buttery and rich with well blended fruit. Very pleasant to sip. A tiny bit oily in the nose, and very slightly acidic at the finish, but the overall effect is very nice. Maureen says, "good, but it has s slightly sour aftertaste that I don't care for."

Sweet cream with a hint of butter and pear on the nose. Coats the pallet with green apple and ripe pear. Soft acid and a long finish.

Had the 2013 at Royce and liked it better. But the 14 is very good. A year will soften the acidity and balance nicely we think. A very well balanced ML Chardonnay. The 13 may be Kylah's favorite Chardonnay right now. Soft and elegant but with a nice crispness, acidity, fruit, oak and a touch of butter. A great go-to Chard at this price point.

Nice, lemon peel, a bit of oak and butter. Green apple and a touch of honey as well. Nice, balanced with enough acidity to carry it.
