Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with lemons, peach and slight green apple. Medium to full bodied. Little or no oak showing on this wine. On the palate, this is crisp and easy to drink. Notes of peach and slight lemon zest on the palate. Nice finish. Refreshing. It works better with food but is still a nice sipper. Pair it with grilled sea food such as trout. drink over the next five years.
This is part of the Cliff Lede family of wines. From Mendocino County (north of Napa). Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has some apples along with a bit of lemons and slight pineapple. Medium bodied. Nice texture. There is a hint of sweetness here. The apples and lemons come thru. Nice finish. Served cooler on a hot summer night, this was very refreshing on its own. It will work nicely with fruit salads. Figs would be nice too. Drink over the next few years.
I love Rhys Chardonnays, however, this is not at their top level. That said, it is half the price of those and this is very much in the style of those making this also a wine I love. Golden/green in color. The nose has vanilla and lemon curd with a nice minerality. On the palate, this has a creamy texture. Minerals with lemon curd. Good acidity. Long finish. There is some oak showing here but not much. It needs a bit of heft for a food pairing but will go nicely with heavier fish and fowl dishes. Great on its own too.
