Very pale lemon in colour. Grapefruit notes on nose and palate. Mineral notes with a bit of funk. In the lean style still with brisk acidity. Bellwether is a Coonawarra winery but Sue Bell sources this Chardonnay from the cool climate Tamar River in Tasmania. When I did vintage in early April at Bellwether a refrigerated tanker of the latest vintage arrived from the Tamar River which we then transferred into a combination of new and one year old oak puncheons for maturation. An excellent wine for its genre. — 3 years ago

Light gold in color with a green hue.
Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity.

Long finish with almonds and limes.
This 4 year old Russian River Valley Chardonnay, is drinking beautifully now. Buttery and rich. Fruit forward with nice complexity and mouthfeel.
Peaking now and will continue to drink nicely in the next 3 to 5 years.
Easy drinking right out of the bottle, and better after 20 minutes of airtime. I had the 2018 not too long ago and loved it as well.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, and better when not too cold.
14% alcohol by volume.
