Chloe Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2021

9.3

Well presented nose of lanolin, beeswax and guava. Palate is quite dense and viscous. Moderate acidity leads into a delicately sweet, long finish. Understated, yet complete and integrated. Drink now or hold for a few years…
In terms of the bottle price, this wine is excellent. — 8 days ago

I’ll buy more if the winery lets me. It’s the old story which I loathe: Join the club and access these…

Yeah I am off almost every list now. Not sure what the mailing list price was for these but K&L has them now. I’ve found most of my mailing list wines there, the same vineyards and no min required. I kinda flipped on one list when I saw the same bottle, no min, since I’m close no shipping charge, a materially lower price and available earlier than it was to the list by months? Super unclear why I was paying and waiting for it. I’m sure there are some where it makes sense but it’s fewer and fewer.

@Norman Gennaro, I’m with you. There’s no wine strong enough for me to do that club shit - no wine. As you remarked, plenty of great wines on the secondary market. I already have 1K plus bottles in my cellar. It’s a crime scene already. I have no club memberships and never will have.

Spectacular magnum showing beautifully, darker color, toasty nose, richer and richer as it opened up and with fantastic acidity for its age. Thank you Jeff for our opener today, hard to follow! — 3 hours ago
