Radio-Coteau
Savoy Vineyard Chardonnay
Anderson Valley, North Coast, California, USA
Nowhere near peaked. Just entering its prime now.
Still plenty of rich oak, vanilla, lemon bar and richness on the nose and palate.
Racy acidity drives through the front and back palate. Super excited to taste side by side against the 2013.

One of the best California Chardonnays I've ever tasted
Lt yellow color. Gentle Apple toast and yeast on nose. Pristine yellow fruits. Peaches plums and pears on palate. Delicious. Hints of oak for roundness. Graceful. Very long finish. Luscious in a classy way. Superb stuff. $60

Anderson valley kicks ass. Pricey for the valley but what a well made wine.

I like Radio Coteau wines is a lot. Buy a case or more a year. Chardonnay was fruity and creamy. Really don’t drink much Chardonnay so not sure how to rate. This was good wine.

Dec 23rd, 2017Very unique and great expression of Cali Chardonnay. Nuanced and detailed. Reminded me of really good Chablis in its precision and focus on minerality and lean quality.

Feb 11th, 2017Really nicely structured. Good oak up front, but not overpowering. Crisp and lemony. Could use some more age though.

Love this wine! After a long day of tasting it is so great to be able to find something the palette can tolerate. This wine is sure to please. Nicely integrated oak and a minimal amount of MF. I give it a 92.
