Medium lemon in color with moderate intensity. Bruised yellow apple, pear, shale and a hint of toast. Medium body, medium plus acid and moderate finish. 86/100

Not as good as first time, think last time I hadn’t had a Chardonnay in such a long time, it totally filled the craving. A little more watery and less concentrated this time...better chilled...lemon, hibiscus, grapefruit and citrus

Thought this was your classic New World Chardonnay but in a good way...big open, nice mouthfeel and structure...butterscotch and caramel with lemon and grapefruit

Smells nice; tastefully buttery and nutty without overpowering the honeydew notes. Palate is lacking in energy and depth, but still has lovely character, not bad for $10. Simple and oaky; I'd say if you're looking to scratch the buttery chard itch, its a great way to do so without spending much or worrying about imbalanced wine. But, I also think a few dollars more will net much more intense whites.

Exactly what you hope for in a $10 Chardonnay from Costco. Soft, oaky chardonnay with a little butterscotch, baked apple, and spice. Went great with halibut and capers

The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like diacetyl (butter), biscuity, bready, pineapple and lemon. It tastes like diacetyl (butter), pineapple, apple, vanilla, oak, medium toast, walnut, biscuity, bready and lemon. The body is medium. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.
Really delicious straight from the bottle. Only had a tiny taste, want to try again more in-depth. Much better than the 2017.

Thought this was okay. Medium yellow color, faint nose. Neither overly fruity nor oaky, a bit tart, medium-bodied, smooth finish. No glaring defects, not very complex, but pleasant drinking. Tastes like Chardonnay. A cut above bottom shelf. Sells for around $10 where I live, and quality is commensurate with that price. You might do better, but could do a lot worse.

My mom and sis had half a bottle and left the rest overnight in the fridge. What I tasted on that second day was miles better than when we first opened it. So we bought a case and plan to cellar it for a year! I doubt many at the bargain-warehouse-type retailers where this wine is being sold would advocate that approach, but I think it will pay off. Honestly, my review of the 1-day-open bottle surprised me: it had a lot of that characteristic buttered toast that good Burgundy shows, as one other user noted, and the bare acidity and fruit mellowed just enough.
I used this in a Cuban Picadillo recipe on 12/9/17 and drank what was left. It had a fresh, expressive bouquet of apple, pear, lemon and spice aromas. The palate was fresh and crisp with flavors that followed the nose.

This wine was so bad they were offering free samples at Giant Eagle. Tastes like a pine board. I wish I could say that I wouldn't drink this wine if you paid me, but I'm such a chump that I drank it for free.

Smooth medium bodied wine with pleasant oak notes. Fruit flavors, acidity and oak all in balance. Good QPR at under $10.

Crisp, apple, fresh, and some tartness. Not a great wine, but fine for $9. Not a very oaky or buttery chardonnay, which is more to my liking.
