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.

Decent Chard but high acidity that might mellow with some age. Like their Sauv Blanc better but this is still a decent white.
