Pale yellow. Some oak on the nose. Light tropical fruit and not buttery. The finish is somewhat short and ends with mild oak. Medium/mild acid. I didn't taste much in the way of apples or pears and I would say it is on the dry side of off-dry. Decent by itself, but not particularly good with food.

Nose is a little one-dimensional, apple predominates. Mouthfeel is average, finish is rich and clean. Would pair nicely with any poultry dish with a light cream-based sauce. An excellent bargain

Oak and vanilla on the nose. Medium body. Round, good acid but not distracting or overly minerally. Enough acid to be good with food but also just fine as a sipper. Reminds me of other Santa Barbara/Montery Chardonnays. Butter, banana and oak on the palate and a nice vanilla toasted oak linger on the finish. Not a huge fruit or acid bomb or too oaky like some CA Chardonnays at this price. A great buy at $7.
