Im a huge RRV fan but this seemed lacking. It is an adequate Chardonnay but not one I would gravitate to in the future. Seemed a bit too simple and almost a bit mass produced (which I know it is not). Maybe it was that these are Monterrey grapes versus the traditional Russian River appellation grapes. I don’t want to discourage anyone from trying RRV wines because there are MANY I enjoy.
