With
all the buzz of up-and-coming white varietals that reflect Texas terroir, this
Chardonnay certainly commands attention and makes a case for this varietal to
behold something spectacular. With the right climate, soil, caretaking, and a
blessing from the crazy Texas weather patterns, this classic grape can do quite
well in the Lone Star state. This vintage from RVC has an enticing golden hue that
summons great things are to come. On the nose, one finds delicate floral notes
along with a hint of pear. This is smooth Chardonnay, that has a bit of butter,
but not too much and a touch of honeysuckle for tease. This medium bodied white
is a testament to how well Texas Chardonnay can be done. It could certainly hold its own in a blind
standoff with many fine world rivals. If you have any bottles in the cellar,
they are still holding well. If you do not, there is a “secret” place in Mason
you should explore and see. Enjoy well!
