Hemel-en-Aarde Valley Chardonnay 2022

Not sure. Expected some unique flavors. Yet this turned out to be kind of a middle of the road good Chard. — 3 days ago

Big score! I’m guessing the vintage may have dialed back the style a bit? Love this vineyard.

Oh my God, the aroma. Peaches, lemons, lychee, roses. Dry as a bone on the palate. Herby. Lime zest.  You think you’re about to drink something sweet but after each sip, you feel refreshed instead of disappointed. — 5 months ago

Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay 2018

Slightly hazy (unfined?) gold. Abundant nose of honeyed tropical fruits, baked apple, and vanilla tinged orange crème. Full-bodied palate of cooked pineapple, baked apple, hint of orange, yellow lilies, and… how does one say “baseball bat” only subtly? Another quintessential Russell Bevan white that’s a monster in body, but velvet on the palate. A big wine that begs for big, complex dishes. My drinking partner (who suggested the wine was like an Adele song… you think it’s going to be a rustic stumble, but it clearly has much more going on) made an incredible pork loin, root vegetable, and apple entrée that was right where a dish should be to stand up to this wine. Similar dishes will work. Not your grandmother’s Chardonnay. Drink now through 2023. — 3 years ago
