Wow, good development. Caramel notes. Yellow apple, a nutty oxidative streak, lots of good acid. Drink now.

Savory and pungent... apricot lemon butter hay peach white flower pear licorice slate... chardonnay. TRB strikes again. So much balance and so much power, the yin and yang here is great. The chardonnay revolution will not be televised.

Last of the 2015 😞. Nothing new to say about it, just that it's awesome as always. Will Segui, if you're reading this please convince TRB to introduce a tiered allocation system!

Higher acidity than previous vintages, fruit still plays a starring role as usual but the balance in '15 is impeccable. These will last for several years, I just never make it longer than a year without crushing all of them.

Loads of honey - almost too sweet. Still solid at $30.

Big fruits, bright acidity. Always love TRB’s wines. Excellent QPR as is always true of his appellation level.

Acid. Substantial tropical fruit. Clean. I probably drank this way too young but fuck it YOLO

Big tropical fruit more of a traditional, but very well made California Chardonnay.

First Rivers-Marie experience and if this is the entry level chard I can't wait to pop open the B Theriot and Joy Road! Nothing over the top or outstanding about this, just a well-made chard.

Very light/refined, not a power chard. Slightest bit acidic
