  Simple buttery chardonnay without any complexity still nice for a warm summer day.

  Unbalanced. Minimal chardonnay characteristics, nose a bit challenged; a little butter, not much else. Fairly short finish & a bitter component and sharp, unpleasant acidity that stops any creaminess in its tracks. No fun, not worth the small amount of money it cost.

  The Stuff: 100% Chardonnay from the River Junction Vineyard in California; partial malolactic fermentation in stainless steel; 13.5%ABV
  The Swirl: Pale yellow but not the rich thick of a standard Chardonnay, reminiscent of a Sauvignon Blanc in color
  The Sniff: Tropical aroma of melon and pear, very faint hints of Chardonnay vanilla and butter
  The Sip: Chardonnay characteristics on the front with strong citric and melon on the back end. This is a Chardonnay trying to come out as a Sauvignon Blanc. This is a refreshing Chardonnay that has hints of sparkling wine.
  The Score: While this is not a great representation of a Chardonnay, I score it a 3+ (out of 5). It is a quality wine with a well balanced flavor for only $8
