McManis Family Vineyards River Junction Chardonnay River Junction AVA, Verenigde Staten
In River Junction, waar de San Joaquin en Stanislaus Rivers samenkomen, krijgt Chardonnay een koeler groeiklimaat dan in veel omliggende delen van California. Dat verschil van 2–5 graden en de grotere schommeling tussen dag en nacht geven deze wijn precies die combinatie van rijp fruit en frisse spanning die hem meer maakt dan een eenvoudige, volle California Chardonnay. Peer, meloen en perzik houden het fruit helder in beeld, terwijl malolactische omzetting en 4 maanden rijping op Frans en Amerikaans eiken zorgen voor extra textuur en zachtheid.
Wijngaarden en regio
De herkomst is hier geen bijzaak, maar een belangrijk deel van de stijl.
- Ligging / Herkomst: Al het fruit voor deze Chardonnay komt uit McManis’ eigen River Junction AVA, bij de samenvloeiing van de San Joaquin en Stanislaus Rivers in California.
- Klimaat & Invloeden: De wijngaarden liggen het grootste deel van het jaar onder de waterlijn, waardoor het er 2–5 graden koeler is dan in de omliggende zone en het verschil tussen dag- en nachttemperatuur duidelijker wordt. Dat helpt om rijpheid en fruitbehoud mooi samen te brengen.
- Wijngaard & Oogst: De oogst liep van 4 augustus tot en met 14 september, met een gemiddelde Brix van 24,4. Dat past bij een Chardonnay die rijp en vol mag zijn, maar wel voldoende frisheid moet bewaren.
Vinificatie en rijping
De kelderaanpak is hier gericht op breedte, romigheid en een duidelijke, toegankelijke houtinvloed.
- Vergisting: De wijn wordt koud vergist in roestvrijstaal en daarna gefilterd vóór de houtrijping. Ongeveer twee derde van de wijn ondergaat malolactische omzetting, wat extra complexiteit en een zachtere textuur geeft.
- Rijping / Houtopvoeding: Daarna rijpt de wijn 4 maanden op Frans en Amerikaans eiken. Dat geeft hem vanille, een romiger mondgevoel en net genoeg toast om het rijpe fruit meer gelaagdheid te geven.
- Alcoholpercentage: Met 13,5% alcohol heeft deze Chardonnay voldoende kracht om zijn rijpe fruit en houtinvloed te dragen, zonder zijn balans te verliezen.
Druivensamenstelling
Hier draait alles om 1 druif die in River Junction een rijpe maar opvallend evenwichtige stijl kan geven.
- Chardonnay – River Junction AVA: Chardonnay vormt de volledige basis en geeft de wijn zijn combinatie van peer, meloen, perzik, romigheid en een zachte, brede opbouw.
Proefnotities en serveertips
Licht goudstro in het glas, met een open geur van peer, meloen en perzik. In de mond is deze Chardonnay rijk en zacht, met tonen van steenfruit, banaan, vanille en een subtiele hint van boterige popcorn die hem extra textuur geeft. De afdronk blijft breed en romig, maar houdt genoeg fruit om levendig te blijven.
- Serveertemperatuur: 10–12 °C werkt hier het mooist, omdat dit bereik het rijpe fruit helder houdt en tegelijk genoeg ruimte laat voor de romige houtinvloed.
- Gerechten: Gegrilde kip, pasta met romige saus, gebakken zalm of een stevig aperitiefmoment zonder eten sluiten hier mooi op aan, omdat de wijn breedte, fruit en zachte houttonen goed combineert.
Bekroningen

Great product and worth the money.
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Black
Portable and stable. Perfect size and gives me the privacy I need when working from home. Stability is great as long as you place the stands correctly it won't wobble. I love it.

Attractive
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Grey
The assembled product is just as described. The screens look great! I am using them to hide the cluttered shelving in my garage. The area now looks quite neat Something I must say, though, is that the assembly was extremely difficult. I had to use a silicone spray and some pounding to get the A and B poles to fit together. Also, it required a great deal of strength to stretch and hold the fabric panels so that the bars inserted in each hem lines up with the screws inserted in A/B poles. I strongly recommend having a partner to help with the assembly.

Does the job, but assembling by yourself is a nightmare
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Black
Does it do the job? Yes, although as others said there are small gaps but it's not a huge deal. The price is also good. But the reason I'm giving it a 3/5 is simply because the assembly for this was a complete nightmare. I honestly don't think I would recommend this to anyone unless they have another person to help them assemble it, because doing it by myself was terrible. I don't think I'd buy this again, I think I'd opt to just spend a bit more money and save myself the trouble personally.

Reasonably adequate room divider
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Beige
I'm reviewing this as I assemble it.
Couple things:
1. I didn't expect as much assembly. I've ordered dividers before and they more-or-less came as one unit. Sometimes the panels needed screwing together. These require complete assembly and come largely as three rods: two make up vertical columns and snap together. Another one (called part "C") makes the horizontal columns and you have two of these per panel (one attaches to part "A" and the other part "B"). These parts are metal with a plastic shim. Using the wood screws to attach to part "C" is a real pain in the neck. There's not much holding the panel in place so it's a little tricky.
One tactic I've found while I'm assembling that works for the initial connections from parts A and B to their respective "C" rods is to hold the screw in place with a screw driver and then rotating the rod around the screw. This will do a number on your hands if you aren't wearing gloves. This obviously doesn't work when completing the connection.
Using a driller driver on this is really near impossible because there isn't anything you can use to secure it in place. You can use it on the first panel, but as it gets longer, it becomes increasingly difficult and because it isn't wood, it's really tight. I considered drilling larger pilot holes but since there are only 4x4=16 screws I need to screw in, I just decided to use my screw driver to complete it.
2. Also related to assembly. When completing the panels (attaching parts "A" and "B" to parts "C" that have the cloth cover on it), you have to be careful that when you tighten that side that it isn't loosening the other side. Because the pilot holes are so tight, you can end up rotating the rod, which rotates it in the same direction as looser on the original side. Having someone hold the "C" rod in place while you screw it in is probably the easiest approach. I didn't have a 2nd person, so I just had to keep flipping back and forth and tightening both sides as I screwed it in. Not the worlds biggest deal, but annoying nonetheless.
3. The way the instructions are written, they seem to suggest building this thing progressively; that is, you do panel 1, then 2, connect them together, then do 3 and connect it, etc. I took a different route that I suspect saved me quite a bit of trouble, and I assembled all four panels first and THEN connected everything together.
4. For the love of God make sure you check that the plastic tip is on the same side for every panel. Otherwise, you have to take one side apart again and reverse it. On the bright side, if this happens, you've essentially bored out the pilot holes to be the correct size... which is having me question if I shouldn't have just bored them out to the appropriate width in the first place.
5. Attaching all of the panels together is also an enormous pain in the ass unless you happen to have an 88" long elevated surface. Attaching the legs either requires you to elevate one side, which will invariably twist the inexplicably cheap material in the bottom connectors... or you can attach them sideways... or you can put this thing upright, having two people hold the panels in place while you use the allen wrench to tighten the bolts on the underside. None of those are particularly great options.
NOW on to the utility itself.
1. The panels do let some light through (I didn't believe their advertising, and that was one of the reasons that I bought beige, is that I wanted it to not be too dark). They aren't transparent though, so it isn't that far off from their description. They functionally work great, and keep the mess of wires hidden and when I'm sitting at my desk, actually reflect quite a bit of light into my office. Great!
2. My wife has described these as "the most hideous piece of furniture ever conceived of by man." So it does not have spouse approval factor. Granted, she will seldom be in my office area, so that isn't the end of the world.
3. These are really hard to align in a way that doesn't look a little tacky. There are some plastic connectors but they don't do a bang up job of keeping these in place. Each panel is slightly tilted and it's... quite obvious. I may at some point make my own improvements to these to help make them more level. It's not a particularly expensive product so I wasn't expecting much so it's fine and I'm not going to ding them on the rating because of it.
All said, would I buy this product again? Probably not. It's assembly was ~90 minutes which is about 75 minutes longer than I was anticipating spending on this (not including the 5 minute writeup that I'm doing here). But am I going to return it? Also no, if for no other reason I'd be just as annoyed taking it apart and putting it in the original box to return it.
