June 15, 2013 - This fine Chard. (at $13) begs the question: why pay more for California's best white varietal?

May 20, 2013 - Pale gold color with medium body. Aromas of peach, melon, and butter with a citrus overtone. Flavors of lemon, rich apple, peach, melon, toast and vanilla. Crisp acidity with a medium finish. A bit more refined overall compared to a typical Chardonnay in the $10-$13 range. Bravo, Fess Parker.

May 10, 2013 - Great! Typical Californian chardonnay--oaky, buttery. However, not overwhelming so. Nice wine, great with chicken or great by itself. Very smooth.
