Chardonnay

This is the base Rhys Chard and while not quite at the level of the single vineyard releases, it is also not as expensive (yet very good).  Light golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose is great with Lemon creme, slight granny smith apples, and salinity.  Full bodied.  On the palate, the lemon creme comes thru along with the green apples, and slight vanilla.  Good acidity.  Nice finish.  This is delicious and drinking well.  It is great on its own and would work nicely with broiled Crab.  Drink over the next seven to ten years.

This is a delightful blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco from Tuscany.  Light golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose has apples, floral notes and wild thyme.  Medium bodied.  Slightly oily texture.  Crisp acidity.  On the palate, this drinks easily.  Crisp apple flavors with slight citrus and minerality.  Good finish.  This is lovely on its own and will work with lighter foods.  A nice choice to go with pasta in a butter sauce.  Drink over the next couple of years.  Nice value.

Great showing for this wine at age 14 (and not the best vintage).  Deeper golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose shows slight oxidation along with lemon creme, slight vanilla and minerality.  Full bodied.  Nicely balanced.  On the palate, this is layered and complex.  Still plenty of fruit but also some tertiary notes of dried fruits, earthiness and nuts.  Long finish.  This is mature and seemingly at peak or slightly past.  It begs for food and would go nicely with Fruit Salad but also scallops.  Drink up.  

Another great Kutch wine. His Chardonnays (and Pinots) are really top notch. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is great with red apples, slight vanilla and spice. Medium to full bodied. Crisp acidity. On the palate, this is concentrated but unwinds nicely in the glass. Great texture. Flavors of apples and maybe some pears. Long finish. This is delicious and drinks very easily. Great on its own but better with food. A nice choice for rich seafood as the crispness will lend a nice foil. Drink over the next ten years.

Light golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose is clean with peaches, a slight chalk note and spice.  Medium to full bodied.  Moderate acidity.  On the palate, this is smooth with some depth.  Flavors of peach with some chalkiness.  Good finish.  Getting close to maturity but may gain some complexity.  This is lovely on its own but probably better with food.  A nice choice with  Sushi.  Drink over the next fine years.  

Looking for a white Burgundy that won't break the bank?  This one is drinking quite nicely.  Light golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose is nice with lemons, slight cantaloupe, and a hint apple.  Medium bodied.  Nice balance.  On the palate, crisp lemons flavors with a touch of cantaloupe.  Slicht minerality.  Good finish.  This is an easy to drink Chardonnay that is lovely on its own and will work nicely with lighter foods.  A nice choice for grilled sea food.  Drink over the next three to six years.
