Bacigalupi
Russian River Valley Chardonnay
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
First of the blind white wines. Theme was new world Chardonnay.
Definitely seems to be unfined and unfiltered with a medium yellow hue. A touch of butter on the nose layered with honeysuckle and white stone fruits. Medium acidity (5.5/10) and medium bodied. Buttery (not over the top) and smooth mouthfeel with notes of lemon and white flowers. Medium plus length finish. Drink till 2020.
Thank you Michelle for bringing!

Brunch in NYC with Bengy and Adam. No plastic cups here. Beautiful chard showing perfectly. Butterscotch and roasted almonds on the nose. Multi-layered on the palate. Tropical fruits, creme brûlée, with a hint of mossy notes. Finishes with tension and caramel.

May 6th, 2018Tasted many times with consistent notes. This is a top-drawer chard, presented at a reasonable price.

Apr 10th, 2017Just brilliant.
Thanks to @David L for introducing us to this stellar offering.
Notes of Meyer lemon and honeysuckle. Bright and tense on the palette, with a delicately sweet finish. Outstanding.

Just superb.
Bright, tense and high-pitched. Great intro to this by our friend @David L. Can't get enough. Tasted the 2014 at David's in November, with consistent notes.

Nose of Butter, white peach, and honeysuckle. Spicy on the front and sweet on the finish. Tastes of a touch of white peach and ginger, then lychee with some rosemary. It’s a crazy good delicious Chardonnay. And I don’t really like Chardonnay. But I like this for sure. Thanks @Randall Brater for sharing!

Back to the new juice,
This is a professional Chardonnay drinkers wine, I really shouldn’t be drinking this, I’m just a gulper. But its so good, just couldn’t help myself @Ron R sent me my first bottle of this so once I saw it on winebid for $55.00 I grabbed it

No oak, no bullshit. This remains the best chardonnay I've tasted. Just butter with hints of citrus and a smooth, tangy finish. Just yum.
