2017 Rivers-Marie Chardonnay B. Thieriot Vineyard - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast (1/9/2020)
Sometimes you need a little richness and spice in your life! A nice change of pace after drinking tons of white burgs…rich and bright, full bodied, golden orchard fruits…spiced up very generously with oak barrel, white pepper, and candied ginger honey. Full bodied and creamy, wherther’s candy, in the mouth…YET…VERY CUT with super intense lemon and pineapple citrus…crushed geology giving it a solid structure and salinity…pretty white blossom florals and a nuanced smoke reduction that reminds me of pycm. Such a big wine, like a “with everything” baked potato…yet SO chiseled and cut…not flabby in the least! Should gain even more through the next decade. +pts (94 pts.)
