Chalk Hill Chardonnay

Very much enjoyed this wine! Creamy and weighted texture; nice complexity rounded out with a bright juiciness. Lemon, apple, and minerality on the palette.

Apple, lemon candy, cedar, honey, oak and hints of butterscotch. Good acidity and balance.

Ok. Slight aftertaste

Over-oaked. You can taste the wood and a more than a hint of char overwhelming the wine. Vanilla, honey, creamy sugar: too sweet. A distinctly average clearly Californian chard.

Bright golden color. Bright aromas of cooked apple, vanilla and light oak. The palate is viscous featuring that cooked apple, marzipan, pear, baking spice and a slight touch of banana custard. Hint of creamsicle on the long and mouth filling and buttery finish. Excellent balance. Not usually my style of wine, but this was a very pleasant surprise.

powerful! bold and fatty. very pleasant nose with pear, yellow apple and toast. in mouth even better with extra minerals, butter, oak and lemon.
really strong is rodney strong ;-)

2022 Sonoma County Harvest Best in Class winner

Meh

Medium lemon colour with some strong vanilla and smoke on the nose as well as green apple, lemon, papaya and honey (almost like honeyed ham!). This wine has a medium-full body with medium acid and a touch of sweetness. On the palate, again some papaya, apple and citrus along with butter and vanilla on the medium long, hot finish. The smoke and butter did not overwhelm the flavours, but were very present. Easy drinking wine, good quality for the price.

Drunk out of Candlewood Suite glasses. Tastes the same as Sonoma Chardonnay but costs twice as much.
