Hudson Vineyard Chardonnay 2020

9.5

As big fans of the Hudson vineyard, we needed to go here.
As expected, it presented the typical Hudson signature of ripe exotic fruits, volume on the mid-palate and unctuous sweetness. Pure and viscous in terms of presentation. We are enjoying this on wifey’s birthday. — 3 days ago

Nice opening nose of peach and stone fruit aromatics. Cantaloupe, apricot, bosc pear through the glass. Love the balance of fruit and acidity. The finish is light but pleasing. — a month ago

Red Shoulder Ranch Chardonnay 2022

Sipping Fine Wine

9.5

Lemon gold color with aromas of stone and tropical fruits with citrus, sweet floral and complex spice, no MLF. On the palate flavors of ripe melon, pineapple, apricot and honeysuckle notes with lemon zest and biscuit notes, delicate, complex and well balanced, big and full Chardonnay. Long finish, savory, ending with mineral tones and fresh finish. Will age well. Outstanding! While I usually do not decant whites, this one will benefit to breathe a bit! — 2 months ago

9.1

Nicely balanced and fresh with sliced apple, pear, melon, papaya, tangerine, and a brush of vanilla from 10 months in barrel (30% new). There’s a salty streak here that I didn’t expect. Not over the top. Entry level single vineyard from Far Niente. — 13 days ago
