Really, for the price, this is really good for RRV. Not complex, but has nice flavors of tart lime candy, light oak, and good acidity.

Had the 2014 and was very nice with mushroom pasta. Not oaky and not buttery. Nice floral and finish.

Nice RRV chard. Good fruit notes of green apple, some hints of oak with a little vanilla, and a nice buttery finish. Nice medium bodied chard.

Definitely needs to breathe abit but once that's done, it is quite nice. High minerality, not the best example of a russian river valley chardonnay but still delightful.

To quote my father, "if I wanted to drink water, I'd drink water". I'd tend to agree. Not much going on here.
