Feb 20th, 2020Pale lemon color with stone and citrus fruits, clean with notes of spice. On the palate flavors of peach, pear and citrus lime flavors, lively acidity and light oak. The medium finish is creamy with a nutty character. good mouthfeel ending with mineral tang.

Chardonnay are after Pinot’s in our tasting. This was one of my favorite Chardonnays out of all the ones we tasted.
Again, very Burgundian in style. Nice ripe, gentle fruit of citrus and tropicals. 13% ABV and mostly all neutral oak.
Photos of, the Hamilton Russell Vineyard, Anthony’s pouring our tasting, barrels around our tasting, and a long view of their property and house on the hilltop.

Jul 18th, 2020Mineral and almost zinc, followed by lime, bright acidity, and pear. Doesn’t taste like Chardonnay to me but is very nice and more intense than usual for a white.
