  August 4, 2014 - It's an ok wine. A bit thick for my taste. Came as a club wine so it was nice to try; I would not purchase directly.

  March 30, 2014 - Very nice wine, all in balance. I do notice the oak that others mention, but I would not say it's too oaky (and I HATE oak). I think that the wine itself has a very reduced set of notes from banana and petrol, to a certain nuttiness that couple with some of the oak notes to seem confusing to the palate. But many of those "oak" notes are not in fact oak.
  
  NOSE: Pineapple, dried apricot, banana, petrol, merengue, butter. PALATE: Medium-plus body, medium-minus tannin, medium acid, medium alcohol. Pineapple, vanilla (from the oak), banana, petrol, and dried orange fruits. Medium-long length. Nicely balanced all around. For $12, this is a no brainer to have around.
  
  If you're someone that like a more viscous body on your wine, this is for you. It's heavy, extremely flavorful, and well balanced. And hey, the label is cool too.

  March 3, 2014 - Much oakier than expected. The wine did not have the necessary acidity and fruit flavors to balance out the oakiness. Very unimpressed. This is the kind of wine that gives me a headache after one glass.

  September 6, 2013 - This was a pleasant tasting Chardonnay type wine with the initial sharpness of a Sauvignon blanc but with the finish of a nice Chardonnay. It was smooth, oaky, and buttery.
