This is a new winery for me to try. Golden in color. The nose shows vanilla with peaches. On the palate, this is medium bodied. Some peach and grapefruit. Good acidity. Nice finish. Overall, a very pleasant Chardonnay. It drinks well on its own now and will work with lighter fare. Drink this over the next five to seven years.
Rivers Marie (the home winery of winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown) really knocked it out of the park with their 2018 Chardonnay. This is the basic release (not a single vineyard) and it is wonderful. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has lemon curd, vanilla and spice. Full bodied. Silky light tannins. Great acidity and balance. On the palate, this is delicious. Lemons, vanilla and slight smoke. Long finish. This is delicious on its own and will work well with sea food or even fowl. Drink over the next seven to ten years. An Excellent value!
