This was definitely an oaky, California style chardonnay. The oak eventually lead to the promised pineapple and pear notes. Light acidity followed on the end of the palate with a hint of nuts and vanilla. A quality California style chardonnay to pair with some shrimp scampi or anything with a lemon butter sauce. Not a standalone.

Lovely toasted notes and lemon curd on the nose. Mouth feel is round with soft lemon and melon. Finishes with balancing acid so not cloying, and leaves you wanting another sip. QPR is good @ $18 for this style of a more opulent/buttery Chard. Would definitely purchase again!

This is my favorite go-to modestly priced classic Cali chardonnay. Pale gold, super buttery unctuous mouthfeel, heavy oak, tropical fruit spectrum. Bit of a metallic off-note on the nose. But overall just sit back and enjoy for $7.99 on sale!

Drank from Bin East 7. Dinner with Aline. Hint of oak and vanilla on nose. Dark yellow. Medium body touch of butterscotch. Past prime. 3/10.

Classic big California Chardonnay. Lots of fruit, bold buttery oak.

A robust, buttery, dense Chardonnay. Not a lot more or less. Good quality for style and price.

Beautiful wine. Touch of oak, smooth spice aftertaste.
