One of my favorite domestic Rieslings. Bigger bodied wine than most Riesling, but with great acidity and intriguing spice notes. Four clones from different vineyards.

The app misidentified this wine has a Chardonnay. It is the Sparkman Riesling.

Nice nose with a medium (in a dark restaurant) yellow color with a medium body that is fairly acidic and with little complexity, but it might improve with ago, and a short aftertaste.

Loved this chardonnay in fondue and in the glass as well.

Plenty of oak, butter & vanillin - but lacking in fruit.

Here Sparkman is again but in the form of a delicious Chardonnay. Another Costco find at $18. Has a deep rich flavor for a Chardonnay.

Hands down, one of my favorite Chardonnays on the market. Sparkman makes exquisite wine across the board.
