| | Tasted by gregbohn on 2/24/2016 & rated 89 points: As others have noted, pretty good quality for the price. Too fruity for me when first opened, but dries out after a bit of air. (5408 views) |

| | Tasted by guskiper on 11/2/2015 & rated 89 points: Vinho simples e correto bom custo benefício. Bom volume em boca e em nariz bastante fruta. (4387 views) |
| | Tasted by guribh on 10/5/2015 & rated 86 points: Again, serviceable. Nothing to note. Quite an indifferent wine, but certainly decently made. I kinda wonder how did all the Lafage bottelings ended up getting such high scoring, while the general CT public keeps scoring them lower. I am not a conspiracy theorist but I somehow get uneasy about it. Great packaging, nice fluff, an importer who's track record is very good. However, the product in the glass is good, yet NOT as spectecular as the reviews (IMHO). Hmmmmmmmm........ (2530 views) |
| | Tasted by Baylorwine on 8/14/2015 & rated 87 points: Nice generic Chardonnay. Decent oak (not napa) and actually tasted like Chardonnay. (2292 views) |
| | Tasted by Baylorwine on 7/15/2015 & rated 88 points: Solid Chardonnay. A bit heavy handed, but you cannot beat the QPR. (2462 views) |
| | Tasted by guribh on 7/2/2015 & rated 85 points: Serviceable. (2475 views) |
| | Tasted by loantaka on 6/6/2015 & rated 75 points: One of the worst whites I have ever had. Tasted like battery acid. Maybe there was something wrong with the bottle. (2504 views) |
| | Tasted by Pimenta on 5/20/2015 & rated 87 points: Muito bom, boa acidez, final levemente doce, mas com boa estrutura, chardonnay clássico. Frutado, untuoso. (2407 views) |
| | Tasted by winejnky on 4/17/2015 & rated 89 points: Drinks well above its price point, better than La Crema, balanced wine with mix of apple and pear fruit flavor plus support from nice body and crisp finish. (2271 views) |
| | Tasted by rmcnees on 4/17/2015 & rated 89 points: Straw colored, medium to full bodied, Wine Advocate calls this 'exotic', with predominant forward bright vibrant white peach fruit flavor with floral, creme, brioche and almond nut flavors with bright acidity, soft smooth finish.

| | Tasted by mdefreitas on 3/16/2015 & rated 86 points: A bit less interesting than before. A solid, workable Chard, with apple and peach flavors. A hint of a sour, unripe note that detracted. Overall, fairly competent for the price. (2509 views) |
| | Tasted by mpricher on 3/8/2015 & rated 88 points: Nice bright Chard. Good fruit. Tart green apple, with some bite. more acidic than expected, very crisp finish. (2243 views) |
| | Tasted by savoy1 on 3/1/2015: Very nice chardonnay and served as an aperitif. (2329 views) |
| | Tasted by Draco Cumulonimbus on 3/1/2015 & rated 90 points: Being blonde in color, the wine smelled like green apples and pears with some vanilla along with a hint of maybe peaches or - more generic - tropical fruits.
The mouth-feeling was pretty pleasant, with low to medium acidity and no sweetness.
Overall I can't say I won't miss this bottle at least a bit.
Still not being the "oh wow" experience of my life it was very nice to enjoy and if I can, I'll definitely get another one. (2180 views) |
| | Tasted by winejnky on 2/28/2015 & rated 90 points: This is a really good Chardonnay for $10; we guessed that it was from Oregon, has good fruit and a moderate amount of oak, but very balanced and not sweet at all; green apple, lemon, moderate tangy acidity with a clean finish. (2015 views) |
| | Tasted by Merky_Waters on 2/26/2015 & rated 87 points: 87-88
pear, apple, green banana. clean mineral, light oak.
overall a bright lightly oaked chardonnay with good tropical fruit and hearty body.
not a, "WOW!" wine but crowd pleaser for sure. (1777 views) |
| | Tasted by Border Boss on 2/13/2015 & rated 89 points: Great flavors of green apple and mineral, with a somewhat dense mouthfeel. The acidity is a bit out of balance and could benefit from more air or bottle time. Overall, a really nice, clean Chardonnay at an excellent price. (2077 views) |
| | Tasted by special juice on 1/30/2015 & rated 88 points: Fresh and clean aromas of pear and apple. On the palate, shows good weight and mouthfeel with intense flavors of tropical fruit finishing with lemon curd. I love this for $10! (2344 views) |
| | Tasted by Z1nnfull on 1/26/2015 & rated 86 points: Meh. Move on, nothing special here. Can get a much better Washington state Chard for same price ($11.99 at Costco) or less. Not bad, but nothing stands out one way or another. (2223 views) |
| | Tasted by ISOPinot on 1/16/2015 & rated 86 points: Yellow with a hint of green. Minimal legs. Tropical fruit aromas, palate. Very minimal hint of oak. Well-balanced. Nice finish. At $11/bottle, easily competes with domestic chardonnays provided one likes subtler chardonnays without big butter and big oak. Still good after 3 days. Drink now. (1823 views) |
| | Tasted by tudval on 1/14/2015 & rated 90 points: Nice chard, buttery, citrusy, full bodied and well balanced. (1761 views) |
| | Tasted by mdefreitas on 1/6/2015 & rated 88 points: Same as before. A crisp, simple, citric, clean little weekday white. (2661 views) |
| | Tasted by mdefreitas on 1/4/2015 & rated 88 points: Same as before. Simple, crisp, well balanced palate cleanser. (2605 views) |
