Though young and subdued the wine wakes with an hour in a decanter revealing white flower aromas, lemon, apple, subtle oak elements, white peach and light green herbs. Loads of minerality, crisp high acidity and a compact form that only becomes more opulent with time. A terrific wine. — 8 days ago

Dark ruby. Inviting nose and medium palate of bitter black cherry, black tea, and lightly oaky vanilla. Medium acidity. Velvety medium tannins. Classically smooth RRV Pinot Noir that’s a match for all upscale fare. Drink now through 2030. — a year ago

Still got ripping acidity, great green apple and some mandarin orange, ends with a rockin marcona almond finish. My kinda finish. I finished is what I’m saying. — 2 years ago

This wine was fun and delicious. Green apples and melons stood out on the palate. Definitely an enjoyable easy drinking wine. Paired well with charcuterie. — 3 years ago

I used to like the winery a lot, but recent experience has been mediocre at best. But this RRV chard is very good.

The fragrant nose offers vibrant citrus, green apple, and white peach with a touch of yeast and touch of crushed seashell. The palate is lively with nice texture that leans just lightly towards creaminess. 6 months in 49% stainless, 46% new French oak and 6% in concrete eggs. — 5 months ago

Medium ruby color. Aromas of strawberry, cherry and green tea. Tasty spices on this one with a red fruit undertone.

A lot of smokiness with a bit cedar, green pepper but not a lot of fruits but some was in there. Color was so dark all the way to the edge. Think I need to drink up a bit more and reduce my supply. — 3 years ago

If you think all Aussie Chardonnay is big, rich & buttery, try this antidote.
Fresh, crisp with crunchy green apple & green papaya. Some underripe apricots, too.
On the palate this is juicy, fresh with vibrant acidity. Quite light on alc (12.5%) and light on the exotic fruit.
Would not call it Burgundian but it’s highly drinkable and surprisingly nice. — 6 months ago
