This is a delicious Chardonnay from Russian River Valley.
Medium plus in body and nicely balanced.
Dry on the palate with medium acidity.
Showing citrus, oak, light vanilla, spices, light earth, honey, yellow apples and pears.
Long finish with limes and grapefruits.
This 5 year old Chardonnay is drinking very nicely now. Showing nice balance with a soft mouthfeel.
Easy drinking and good right out of the bottle. Drinking at its peak.
Will continue to drink nicely in the next 3 years.
Good by itself as a sipping wine. Paired nicely with hard cheddar cheese.
14.5% alcohol by volume.

Tasty cherry with some earth and smoke. Plenty of acid. Noticeable but smooth tannins. — 13 days ago
Mid to dark Ruby in colour. Black and Red fruits - aromatics of blackberry, note of raspberry, earthy and sandy notes. A medium to full bodied palate - rich and enduring. Costers de Vinyes Vielles comes from the company’s oldest vines. A blend of 110 year old Carinena (55%) and 90 year old Garnacha (45%). Aged for 16 months in French oak. One of the 1001 Wines. 14.5% ABV. Love Priorat wines after our visit in 2022. — 4 months ago

55 hectares of superb gravelly vineyards, often referred to as the "archetypical Graves." A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc & 1% Petit Verdot, Organic, very very dark Ruby red with aromas of black fruits with an array of herb, floral & spice notes. On the palate flavors of berries, black cherry, licorice and cacao with pepper, great mouthfeel. Firm full fine tannins, long finish, ending with fruit, spice and floral earthy character. Extremely Nice! — a year ago

This is still very pretty, lots of nice texture, nuance, impeccable balance. Confectionary, fennel seed and floral nose, mineral, tangy, licorice root palate. Still some freshness but it may be time to drink up. What a steal this was. — 16 days ago
