It was just a very typical new world chardonnay: sweet, corn-flavored nose and modicum hint of finish. Overall, especially considering its price, this wine was not only enjoyable but repeatedly drinkable.

13.9% alcohol; 45 mm plastic cork with aroma of alcohol and generic fruit & fruit peel, medium weight foil; pale 24 karat gold with medium to long legs; opened, kept in the fridge for 24 hours and tasted at approximately 10 degrees C; weak nose of generic fruit; full bodied, rush of generic fruit peel, vanilla, oak, pleasant sourness & fruitiness, tannins not much in evidence, malolactic qualities also in the background at best; long finish, pair with fatty cold-water fish like Chilean sea bass or line-caught Pacific Coho salmon

Pineapple, vanilla, and cedar notes. Acidity is medium high with a slight sharpness. Mouthfeel is full bodied. Overall, it’s a decent tasting table wine

Really really great chardonney! Truly one of my faves. Full flavored with a bold and oaky finish. I may be an amateur, but i dont think you can find many better chards for around $15.

Wow -- back to a good drinkable year ( well - with the first bottle tested ) --we have avoided this in past years due to ... well a chemical taste --- glad to keep trying this .. and hope 2020 will also be a good year.
--- hold on --
above was bottle #1 ( of 3 ) --the next 2 were back to being gosh awful -- totally excessive chemical additions ....
OK -- will skip this year as well .... sorry for the 51 who read my original tasting note ....

Alcohol taste overwhelming at first and actually goes well with citrus.
I found this wine too harsh and not a fan. Little oak and too astringent.

Buttery, oaky and a little bit of steel. Right out of the California Chardonnay playbook.

Not a fan of this style of Chardonnay. Lacks personality and offers apple, wafer and some pear. Very simple wine and not complex at all. Poorly made.
