This is at its far and away best well chilled where it feels more weightlessly energetic offering a semi complex array of; citrus, tropical and stone fruit flavors along with some hazelnut. As it warms it's sadly dominated by vanilla and buttery oak spice and more ponderously typical CA Chardonnay. So depending on what temp you drink this at its two different wines. Well chilled 89-90pts. If allowed to get too warm its an 85pt wine.

color: medium golden yellow; nose: mild oak, slightly buttery; taste: medium-bodied mouth feel, non-descript grape-apple taste, shortish finish with notes of apple; overall: giant "meh!" - incomplete, completely ordinary, lacking personality or style...aptly nailed by another reviewer as jug wine quality, poor QPR ($13/bottle), serviceable only for cooking or as base for a white sangria (but why bother?)

Restaurant bottle purchase with dinner. Unfortunately, this is a low end, mass produced quaffer, displaying very little character and differentiation from other mass produced jug wine. I've had a number of this producer's higher end bottlings, so I know they can make an acceptable wine, but unfortunately, this isn't one of them.

Creamy, ML, ripe apple, hints of lime, lemon, and oak. No complaints for $5.

Seductive with nose of pear and wood. In the mouth, not much fruit to balance the wood.
