River Road Vineyards
Reserve Russian River Valley Chardonnay
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Bright straw gold. Shy nose of quince and vanilla oak. Full-bodied, and extremely subtle palate of quince, nutmeg, and a hint of white pepper on the medium finish. Medium acidity. A wine to accompany a meal, preferably featuring an aromatic dish as this will compliment with subtly hinted flavors. I’m enjoying mine with the spicy version Jay’s “Just Chicken”™ with sweet kale and broccoli noodles.

Medium oak, buttery...earthy, very good Chardonnay . Seems to have a lingering honey finish, maybe wildflower.

Lighter bodied than your typical Chard. Some nice acid and freshness. Neutral oak flavors. Deliciously balanced.

Good looking golden straw color, nose of nice oaky apple with some pineapple as well. Medium bodied pallet with slight creaminess of pear and apple with an awesome buttery finish!

My kind of Chardonnay. Not inundated with buttery flavors and such. A well balanced blend. The label discussed peach and almond notes. I have a hard time pulling these from the aroma and taste but a great drink nonetheless.

Pale yellow in color.
Light intensity on the nose with lemons and oak.
On the palate, oak, vanilla, lemon and butter.
Full-bodied.
Short finish with mostly secondary flavors from maturation.
Didn't like this reserve, that much. Better than their unoaked Chardonnay, though. Definitely not for $16.
