Another overpriced wine from Costco with a "fake" high rating. Typical buttery CA chard with no redeeming qualities. There are many like this out there at half the $16 Costco price. Tastes just like Clos du Bois chard at $8 instead of $16.

Tasted at The Three Borders Wine Group, Hampshire, UK. Bright gold. Oak is prominent on the nose. Rich, full, big, complex wine. Organic. 60% matured in oak.

Every time I drink this wine I contemplate how much I like it. This is a $10 Chardonnay at Costco, which drinks like a $20 wine. It is consistent and a screaming value. Stone fruit, pear, vanilla, a bit of pineapple and decent acidity. Great patio wine that can also hold it’s own with food. Hard to beat as a house Chardonnay.

Nose - clean. Youthful. Medium plus intensity. Getting oak and ripe apple but the oak feels well integrated. Toasted notes. With air getting pineapple.
Palate - fresh, young, well balanced. I do get pear on the palate. I even feel the pear texture a bit. Getting black pepper. Back palate you get the cedar tingle. It’s vibrant and dances in your mouth. You get all the taste senses. Picking up minerality as well. A saltiness. Medium body. Acidity feels medium. Alcohol feels integrated. Though after a few glasses you feel it but you don’t taste it. Finish is medium, maybe even medium plus.
I like this wine. Good value. It can hold to own with a heavier meal. I would buy again.

Pale yellow color; citrusy nose, with a strong oak element. Quite dry, not overly fruity, high degree of acidity supported by robust tannins and quite a bit of oak. More citrus than apple in the flavor profile, quite tart, unlike the many soft Chardonnays crowding the market nowadays, this has a bit of grip. Not really exciting, but solid. Good value.

Just another over pried wine. Little resemblance to a good Chardonnay.

Not as rich as their 2014. Grapefruit and lemon predominate this wine. Good acid balance and body. Good value at $7.
