2021 Hearst Ranch Winery "Glacier Ridge" Chardonnay


 Rosebud...

Sorry, had to.

Nice, pretty aromas though light, of Clementine, lemon and white peach. There is a slight lychee quality.

On the palate, a very slight effervescence greets the tongue. This is technically speaking, a flaw. However, it provides a fun, lively quality to the wine and helps the nice citrus pop. The flavors are lemon and orange Lifesaver, fresh Clementine, lemon zest and Key lime. It's bright and fresh and drinks easy. Imminently food pairable. It leans toward some nice Bosch pear on the finish. 

Not a very complex or layered wine, but quite enjoyable and easy.

2023 Darling Lester Family Vineyard Pinot Noir

 From the Santa Cruz Mts. A vibrant ruby leaning into flecks of orange at the rim.  Savory tomato leaf aromas arrive first al9ng with celery...
