Baron Herzog
Special Reserve Russian River Valley Chardonnay
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Ripe cantaloupe on the nose. Butter on the mouth and very creamy mouth feel. Almost no fruit, but some apple/pear. Excellent with a citrusy, creamy pasta.

Their winemaking origins date back nine generations, to Phillip Herzog, who made wine in Slovakia for the Austro-Hungarian court more than a century ago. Aromas of stone fruits and perfume scents. Flavors of tart apple and pear with lemon tones and oak characteristics. Medium length, a bit acidic ending with nothing but oak. Ok, but pricy.

Typical California Chardonnay from the Russian River Valley, Sonoma. Buttery, creamy, vanilla-driven and oaky on the nose thanks to its fermentation and aging process for 12 months in French and American oak barrels.
Definitely shows expression of the Russian River Valley's distinctive climate that provides lime and tropical fruits with some camomile and other white flowers to most of Chard’s sourced from there. The savory notes mixed with ripen apricot and baked pineapple makes it really refreshing and interesting. A bit toasty to my preference, but appreciate its weight and intensity on the finish and general decent overall as a mouthfeel.

Over-oaked and over-manipulated Chardonnay. It has some nice flavors but overall it is unbalanced. Not bad for Kosher wine, and at least it is reasonably priced.

Apr 14th, 2020A "heavy" white. Very oaked and almost oily. Not your crisp refreshing white wine. Pair with something of substance.
