Balverne Estate Forever Wild Russian River Valley Zinfandel 2021, Sonoma County, California Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim, and medium plus intensity. Fruity nose of red and blue fruits with red candy, light wood, spices, chocolates and black pepper. Medium plus in body with medium acidity. Dry on the palate with red currants, red cherries, light oak, peppercorn, light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth, light vegetables and tobacco leaf. Short finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries. This is an easy drinking Zinfandel from Russian River Valley. Fruit forward with nice complexity. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel. Earthy, with lots of red fruits, and surprisingly unlike a typical California Zinfandel. Good right out of the bottle, and good by itself or with food. A good party wine too. A blend of 83% Zinfandel, 8% Mourvedre, 5% Grenache and 4% Petite Sirah. Aged for 6 months in oak barrels. A small production of only 265 cases. 14.3% alcohol by volume. 89 points. $30.

Ruby in color with medium intensity and a wide reddish rim. Fruity nose of fresh cherries, raspberries, spices, light herbs and chocolate notes. Medium plus in body with medium acidity. Dry on the palate with plums, raspberries, black cherries, chocolates, spices, peppercorn, light earth and herbs. Spicy finish with soft tannins and tangy cherries. This is a tasty and easy drinking Pinot Noir from Russian River Valley. Elegant and fruit forward. Soft and smooth. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Spicy and entertaining. Still young, but already enjoyable even by itself. Would be nice to revisit it in a couple of years. Fruit forward right out of the bottle, and gets earthier as it opens up. Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food. 13.5% alcohol by volume. 90 points. $40.

Dark gold in color. Medium plus in body with medium acidity. Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel. Showing lemons, apples, pears, light earth, vanilla, bitter herbs, oak and minerals. Tangy finish with almonds and limes. This is very tasty Chardonnay from Russian River Valley. Still young, but already enjoyable. Elegant and soft. Rich and fruit forward. I really enjoyed the nose. Needed 45 minutes in the bottle to open up properly, remove some of the oaky notes, and balance itself out. Would be nice to revisit this Single Vineyard Chardonnay in 3 years, and see how it evolved. Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food. I paired it with a double cream Brie cheese. 100% Whole Cluster Chardonnay grapes were aged in (45% new) French Oak barrels for 17 months. 13.9% alcohol by volume. 91 points. $120.

#chardonnay #wine #winereview #odedi #winewriter #winesky #RussianRiverValley #whitewine
Dark golden in color. Strong fruity nose with light cedar, vanilla, yellow apples and spices. Medium plus in body with medium acidity. Dry on the palate with yellow apples, citrus, spices, cedar, earth, vanilla, herbs and white pepper. Tangy finish with limes and almonds. This Single Vineyard Chardonnay from Russian River Valley is drinking beautifully now. Nicely balanced and good right out of the bottle. This 6 year old Chardonnay is complex and engaging. Elegant, fruit forward and rich. I had this vintage 4 years ago, and it is still delicious. Will continue to drink nicely in the next few years. Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine. 100% Chardonnay grapes were barrel fermented and aged in French oak barrels for 16 months on the lees. A very small production of only 6 barrels. 12.5% alcohol by volume. 92 points. $65.
