L’Angevin, 2004 Russian River Valley Chardonnay

The first vintage for this winery was 2002; the current production is about 800 cases of Chardonnay and about 150 cases of Pinot Noir. The winemaker Robbie Meyer worked at Peter Michael Winery for five years as an assistant winemaker, as well as two years as the winemaker for Lewis Cellars. The wine is crisp without much intensity. The feel in your mouth substantial with a reasonably long finish, it reminds me of Peter Michael chardonnays, but without the complexity. I will try this one again next year; it is close but not quite there yet.
