Note di degustazione
The 2016 Chardonnay Anderson Valley from the team at Rhys knocks it out of the park, and I suspect it’s a screaming value. White peach, apple blossom, spice, and some white flower notes all flow to a medium-bodied, elegant, seamless Chardonnay that has tons of character. It will keep for 5-7 years.

The 2016 Chardonnay (Anderson Valley) is soft, open-knit and quite pretty. With lovely orchard fruit, chamomile and floral notes pushed forward. Light tropical inflections add nuance to this delicious, easygoing Chardonnay. The Anderson Valley Chardonnay emerges from Rhys's Bearwallow estate vineyard.
The 2016 Alesia Chardonnay Anderson Valley offers up an inviting bouquet of green orchard fruit, struck match, blanched almonds and subtle nutmeg. On the palate, it's medium-bodied and succulent, with a more rounded, giving profile than its Santa Cruz Mountains counterpart but displays good cut and vitality, concluding with a youthfully chalky finish. This is the most accessible Chardonnay in the Rhys portfolio, but I'd expect it to drink well for the better part of a decade.
