Chardonnay, Banfield Vineyard, Russian River Valley – 2014
Aromas of lime zest, orange blossom, wet granite and baking spices emanate from the glass. The wine is silky with great density and minerality on the mid-palate. Notes of pear skin, lime curd and lemon butter unfold through the long finish.
“… Aromas of fresh red berries, orange pith and dusty minerals, joined by a suave floral nuance that builds in the glass. Silky, focused and energetic on the palate, offering juicy strawberry and tangerine flavors ...”
“Light, bright gold. Sexy, expansive aromas of fresh orchard and pit fruits … Finishes very long, smooth and spicy, displaying lingering floral and pear notes. I'd confidently pour this side-by-side with some big-name Condrieus.”
“Dark ruby. Highly fragrant, smoke-accented aromas of ripe black and blue fruits, licorice and violet … This expressive, intensely flavored wine finishes with powerful thrust, harmonious tannins and outstanding persistence.”
“Saturated ruby. An assertively perfumed bouquet evokes ripe black and blue fruits, along with hints of licorice, violet pastille and peppery spices. Sweet, palate-staining cassis and boysenberry flavors become spicier as the wine opens up...”

“Beautifully perfumed and expressive … strawberry, framboise, rose petal and passion fruits in a medium-bodied, supple, beautifully textured, charming profile. This has tons of charm and will put a smile on your face over the coming summer months.”
“Easily one of the finest Provencal Rosés I've ever tasted … fabulously pure, fresh and crisp notes of white flowers, white peach, salty minerality and hints of wild strawberries. The minerality and saline-like quality is sensational …”

“… gives up beautiful raspberry, strawberry and floral characteristics to go with a layered, textured, seamless style on the palate. The winemaking here is just first rate, and both of these Roses are flat out outstanding.”
“A fabulous effort that has finesse, elegance and texture … perfumed notes of rose petals, framboise and strawberries. This seamless beauty can be enjoyed on its own, but it will pair beautifully with any number of dishes as well.”
"Michael Brajkovich, MW, ferments this wine in barrel without adding yeast, producing an apple- and pear-scented chardonnay with pale, leesy richness. It’s firm, effortlessly incorporating fresh acidity into the body of the wine…”
“Enticing aromas of tropical fruit, elderflower, tomato leaf and a whiff of hay lead the nose on this full-bodied white … creamy white peach, passion fruit, chopped herb and mineral. Fresh acidity brightens the rich flavors.”
“Elegant and almost ethereal, this wine is tantalizing and irresistible. It shows sophistication, from the mysterious, earthy bouquet to the complex, well-aged brioche and peach flavors, as well as the almost gentle texture and refined finish…”
… “spice-tinged fruit aromas and toasted baguette complexity make a grand entrance on the nose. It then gushes bold and complex flavors, like toasted walnuts and almonds, poached pears and a touch of ginger.”
“With small additions of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, this wine opens in green olive and celery, with a tease of mint, before unleashing a mouthfilling core of black cherry and cassis. Lively acidity presides over all, giving a powerful …”
“There’s a lot to love in this juicy, delicious wine, starting with aromas of ripe, dark-skinned berry, baking spice, leather, sunbaked soil and menthol. The elegant, structured palate delivers a combination of ripe black cherry, cinnamon, anise …”
"This is a dry, full-bodied deal of a wine, offering melon, papaya and zesty acidity around plenty of breadth and depth. Textured and luxurious, it finishes in ginger and Asian pear."
“This gorgeous, full-bodied and compelling wine is made from 84% Chardonnay and 16% Pinot Noir. It has a rich golden color, slightly earthy aromas, plus bread dough and white-peach scents that lead to very opulent, sophisticated and nicely aged…”
“It has a vivid light-copper color, an aroma like red cherries and apple skin, and flavors that are bright and fresh. The balance is almost austere but rounds after a couple of sips.”

"This elegant, dry bubbly has a light-gold color, aromas like peach skin and white cherries, and flavors that are crisp, fruity and vivid. It starts out reserved before opening up to riper, richer tones, partly due to 15% reserve wine in the blend. Not just for toasting, it will make a very good match with seafood. "
“One of Schramsberg’s younger releases, and made from all white grapes, this wine has tantalizing aromas of vanilla, apple and light toast that lead to layered and creamy flavors. A nice brisk balance with good acidity underlies the spice and fruit."
