Not for me. Too much oak, slightly flabby.

Incredibly well made chard at this price point. Balanced, creamy but not buttery, nice acidity level.

Courtney Benham is no longer only sourcing fruit from RRV for this one. And I think this is one of the best chardonnay he and Bill have made yet. Fruit was bright and uplifting, including the classic flavors of green apple skin and pear, but undertones of pineapple and lemon. The acid was on point, the flavor balance was on point, and the oak usage was subtle, leaving only a soft trace of vanilla cream. $15? Get outta here.

Great day drinking. Medium body. Apple fruit notes but not too fruity. Nice smooth ending.
