Very nice, very balanced RR Chard. Roughly 14,000 cases per vintage give or take. A good buy for under $20 retail.

Leesy, buttery croissant nose. Butterscotch, caramel. Delicate on the palate but still round and oddly plush. Fruit long since receded.

100% RRV Chardonnay. Well-balanced with a nice, round finish.

Also a fabulous Chardonnay! Caramel, green apple, ripe yellow pear, Meyer lemon. Elegant palate weight and mouthfeel.

A little past prime. But still a fun taste.

Super smooth and a happy edition to the wine club membership. Great wine to give as a gift. If you need to knock someone out, the weight of this bottle will do the trick!

2018. Light straw color. Mild oakiness and tannins. Fresh flavors of white peach and pear.
