Riva Ranch Single Vineyard Chardonnay

Hints of butter and vanilla, crisp and oaky but not overwhelming and holds its own against more expensive wines

Cali Chardonnay: really a style I can't warm up to.

Fits a California Chardonnay taste profile.

Love this, very good single vineyard Chardonnay. A little oaky, but in a good way!

Deep gold, brilliant wine with good clarity. Nose of pineapple, honeydew melon, lemon, and a touch of vanilla oak. Nice mouthfeel, with good balance and lingering finish. Quite pleasant.

Golden yellow in color, clear with no flaws. The nose is oak and citrus. The oak is predominate on the palate but not overpowering. Lemon pushes through in the middle and the finish is crisp, tart and moderate acid. A mineral undertone throughout. An excellent value oaky Chardonnay at under $20.

Buttery

Too syrupy and almost somewhat like a sweet lemonade. Smell was offputting also.

For a Chard, not too bad. Initial light sweetness, but a fairly well-rounded nature and some dryness near the finish.
