Vince Neil Vineyards Sonoma Chardonnay 2003

Vince Vineyards "V" Chardonnay 2003 was the inaugural bottling of Vince Neil's (Motley Crue fame) side project in the wine business. Vince is acting as part celebrity marketer, part wine negociant, in bringing out this Chardonnay. Vince definitely enjoys good wine, and worked with Adler Fels* Winery to produce his own label.

There was also a Cabernet, which sold out in Nashville. New releases and a website are expected to be introduced soon.

Vince was in attendance along with MÖTLEY CRÜE band members Tommy Lee, Mick Mars and Nikki Sixx, as the they received the 2,301st star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last Wednesday (January 25th).  The ceremony was timed to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the band's founding.  Their star is apparently across the street from the Erotica Museum and Frederick‘s of Hollywood, a fitting location.  (see Photos by Wire Image)

Tasting Notes. The light golden straw color is an indication of the style of Chardonnay. Rich, buttery, spicy and lightly smoky nectarine, peach, apple and candied lemon aromas make a statement. On the tongue, "V" is medium-bodied, creamy and round, with good acidity and nutty oaky structure. Elegant tree fruit flavors, somewhat buttery and pie-spiced, balanced with tartness, lead to a smooth finish which reverberates oak and fruit. Closure: Artificial composite cork. Nice value ($17) in a rich style Chardonnay. Surprise, you're not being overcharged for the celebrity label.

*Adler Fels Winery, located in Santa Rosa, also brings Yellow Bird California wines ($6-7), Leaping Lizard Napa wines ($10), Big Ass Cab ($15) and Big Ass Zin ($15) to market. Adler Fels is also a producer of several other private label wines produced from purchased grapes. The winery was purchased in late 2004 by Adams Wine Group. Harry Parducci stayed on board as Winemaker.
