Wow....although tasted before this bottle was great and I think it is because I drank it on the warmer side this time... probably pushing 60+ degrees. I have to believe that is what made this even more impressive than the last tasting. It really showed the layers of fruit/pears and buttery finish but with a much deeper mouthfeel and longer finish.

Ok - it is less in USA - but in Canada for $16 there aren't many to match this for QPR … this is now a regular for us … great to be spoiled … gone thru 24 bottles and they were al good … just got 6 more ..

Great texture and balance with flavors of lemon meringue, green stems, vanilla and some light oak. An obvious stand out in a limited grocery store wine aisle. I dare you to find this kind of balance and complexity at the price point.

Tasty, with tropical fruits and smooth buttery texture. Love as much as the 2010, of which I had a case. I will be buying a case of this one and continue to use it as my weekday Chardonnay. What a value at $10!

Medium body with baked apple, caramel, and vanilla. The oak adds to the richness, I just wish the fruit was more pronounced. Chalky finish. Not much to complain about for an $8 wine.

Good value. Not a bad Cali Chardonnay but nothing outstanding. Nice wood, nutty and buttery, as a good chardonnay should be. A little more acidity and fruit would have made it better and more complex.

At $10-12 a lot of bang for the buck. Rich and creamy aromas of lemon custard, some oak, hazelnuts, and a toasty freshness. Good body without being fat, has the structure to go well with food but quite enjoyable by itself. Has more substance than a typical quaffer. Improved overnight and at cool not cold temperature (50 F).

BEST BUY! One of the best of the value-priced American Chardonnays and a wine you can find almost anywhere. The nose is lightly buttered apple with hints of oak that manifest as Cheerios. This is a creamy, medium-light, Chardonnay with citrus, oak, and acid in gentle balance. Finish is pleasant and medium length. This doesn't taste like a confected wine.

Worth every dollar. One of the best whites in its price range I ever drank. Oaky, light, well balanced...

This was really expressive tonight. Had to bump it up a point from previous bottles. Cant stop thinking how amazing this is for $10.

A perfect $13 chardonnay minus a little fruit, perhaps. Lovely creaminess and a very subtle sweetness. Will buy again in a heartbeat.

Strong showing. Nice chard. Light pale color and nice nose of pear and apple. Balanced with butter and light citrus. Easy drinking.
