Winemaker worked at Roulot. I guess that's why it tastes like Meursault. Whopping 13.2%!

Tasted a number of Porter Creeks today. So here they are. First, probably the best Russian River Chardonnay I have tasted in a long time. Especially for the price. Had excellent concentration, but also feeling of lightness and transparency. Neither happy nor oaky.
