 Tasted by DbertCellar on 12/14/2013 & rated 88 points: Peach nose. Sweet, slight buttery taste. (1838 views)
 Tasted by Oakjeff on 5/22/2013 & rated 89 points: Even without taking QPR into consideration this wine was damn tasty. Good body. Nice amount of oak without being overly so. Really enjoyed. Great for your everyday white wine. Pour into a carafe and serve to guests and they'll never know its Costco private label. (2495 views)
 Tasted by BSZach1 on 4/15/2013 & rated 86 points: It smells like Apple, and Peach. It tastes like Apple, and Pear. (2579 views)
 Tasted by Lazaruk-Schwyter on 1/31/2013 & rated 89 points: Quite buttery with light citrus notes ... Phenomenal value for only $7! It's one of our go-to favorites for a week night meal, when we want a solid Chard. Also loved the 2009 (actually a little better) but the 2010 failed to impress. Do not give in to snobbery and not give Costco brand a try! (2895 views)
 Tasted by GregGH on 1/27/2013 & rated 88 points: do not drink much in the Kirkland label ... not bad for the price ... the wine you want to serve your friends who want only your expensive stuff( just decanter first ) (3185 views)

Chardonnay

The Chardonnay Grape

USA

American wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.

California

2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson
