Nickel & Nickel

Truchard Vineyard Chardonnay 2023

Nicely balanced and fresh with sliced apple, pear, melon, papaya, tangerine, and a brush of vanilla from 10 months in barrel (30% new). There’s a salty streak here that I didn’t expect. Not over the top. Entry level single vineyard from Far Niente. — 6 days ago

Shafer Vineyards

Red Shoulder Ranch Chardonnay 2022

Lemon gold color with aromas of stone and tropical fruits with citrus, sweet floral and complex spice, no MLF. On the palate flavors of ripe melon, pineapple, apricot and honeysuckle notes with lemon zest and biscuit notes, delicate, complex and well balanced, big and full Chardonnay. Long finish, savory, ending with mineral tones and fresh finish. Will age well. Outstanding! While I usually do not decant whites, this one will benefit to breathe a bit! — 2 months ago

Good but not as great as I remembered. First time we had this we were blown away. This wasn’t better than some of our favorites and not far the price point still good! Lots of lemon and lime. — 2 months ago

Yes, I picked this and yes, it is what I expected. New worldy but enough driving acid to finish strong. — 7 days ago
