Perhaps, this by far the most highly rated Chard from the Russian River Valley in Sonoma recently. Flora Marie Chardonnay is the best representation of the 2020 vintage top quality. This a Montrachet Clone from Burgundy. Plainful aromas of roasted cashews and almonds, it is peachy and white stony fruits on the palate and nose. Wonderful minerality and mild baked yellow apple, it shows its MLF as the custard and creamy texture and yet juicy finish takes you to the next level. If you are lucky to find it get it, because was made in very small batches as it was harvested right before the 2020 fires. This is a wine that can age amazingly! Cheers! — 2 months ago

A typical Sonoma Coast AVA Chardonnay, uplifting acidity, baked pear, and some hint of ripen tropical fruits. Feels just a touch of custard cream and subtle toasted nuts. Dry enough to keep sipping and pairing with roasted veggies and light fish appetizers. — 5 months ago

E' buono, ma troppo dolce anche secondo mia moglie. A I miei amici piece bere con ghiaccio. L'ho trovato a Costco. — 7 months ago

Too early but trying before I buy more. Stellar. Lots of upside. Dark. Sticky. Reminds me of a ‘13 Cor Leonis a little. — 4 months ago

A lively Sauvignon Blanc 100% from Rutherford in Napa. Top notch quality and freshness. Bright notes of lemongrass, and exceptionally refreshing. My go-to with arugula and goat cheese salad and a well done sockeye salmon.
Right amount of acidity and elegant finish. Quite smooth. — 6 months ago

Very crisp and fresh maybe it’s the youth but an easy drinking wine. Green apple and a slight hint of oak. — 2 years ago

A highly aromatic Pinot Noir, dark cherry-driven, fruity and fresh. It’s in the jammy side when opened, but give it some time to breath (an hour) and it will show its amazing flavors of cinnamon and red fruits with an uplifting and refreshing acidity. It can age well, but the 2023 vintage is ready to go. Loved the finish! — 3 months ago

A very expressive Chardonnay from a single vineyard in Sonoma considered one of the top sites in California. Powerful but not overwhelming on the nose and palate. Shows its multiple tropical fruit notes on both nose and palate. Since it’s 100% barrel fermented with native yeast and full of malolactic, it provides a great level of complexity. The creaminess is balanced and has some weight to it. Long finish and pleasant mouthfeel with a great texture. A show stopper!

Good wine. Still very young. Much better than I expected but for the price I’m not sure I will buy again — 6 months ago
