Solid, balanced, middle-of-the road Chard. Great table white for sipping or pairing with any white meat. Not complex but not offensive either. Pears, apricots, honey, and a touch of butter on the mid-palate and finish. Generally dry and crisp, as usual for this wine. Drink before 2016.

Always a consistent Chard from Navarro. Medium bodied, nice balance of fruit and structure from the oak (but not overly buttery, nor oaky). Good value at $20.

Not overdone with butter or oak, but refreshing with citrus and a bit of cream. It lacks the mineral and depth of a French Chardonnay, but it is more friendly than most of its American counterparts.

A bigger and richer style compared to the "Table Wine" bottling. Thr fruit is riper and seemingly of higher quality with peach and tropical fruits. The oak is more evident, providing a creamier mouthfeel. Good persistance. Good for the style, but in the end, this is just not my style, as it is too fruit driven and simple.

Very nice, light offering. Dry and smooth, above average in taste; good balance and finish.

Finish seems to be getting longer and more complex. More oak and butter, but it' still balanced and dry.

Pear but less than usual from Navarro. Acceptable balance but not as interesting a wine as I expect from this winery.

Seemed bigger and richer than past vintages of this wine. A bit buttery for my taste.

Nice CA formula Chardonnay -- rather ripe, not a lot of acid, oak & glycerol evident. Good with cracked crab. Not to age.

This wine has a nose of spring fruit. It has flavors of butter, pear and vanilla with a slight oak finish.
