  Last of a case and these have been a fantastic QPR at Last Bottle's closeout price of $12. Definitely drinks like a $30-60 chardonnay. Consistent with '16 note and amazingly still drinking well, though some oxidative notes are creeping in (not detracting at this point, but I'd probably drink em if you got em). Awesome. ��

  I bought a couple of cases of this wine from Last Bottle a few years ago. Apparently, the winery went out of business and they sold the remaining stock to the online flash seller for a song. I ended up getting this purported $50 Chardonnay for $10. I ordered a case and tried it almost as soon as it landed (illegally) on my stoop. And it wasn’t bad. I am not sure if I would pay $50 for it, but $10? Heck yeah! So when it came up again, I bought another case. Well, we have reached the end of the road on this wine and I highly doubt there will be any more (in fact, I am sure of it). So why bother writing a note? Good question. I guess it is just what wine geeks do. Golden in the glass with lemon zest creamsicle and slight notes of oxidation on the nose. On the palate, this certainly falls into the “big, oaky, California Chardonnay" category, but I have room for that in my cellar and repertoire. And that is just fine with me. thedrunkencyclist.com

  I was afraid this might have faded, at 11 years of age. Not so! It was fresh and beautiful, lovely fruit, just a hint of oak. Looking forward to the next bottle.

  What a rocking QPR these have been; I can't believe I got these for $12. Insane. Definitely drinks like a $30-60 wine. I believe I've had others since, but this is certainly more balanced than my '13 note with regard to the alcohol. Deep, rich golden color. Aromas of saline, butterscotch, buttered popcorn, vanilla, coconut, and tropical fruits like pineapple and papaya. Medium body, acid, and finish, with flavors of waxy yellow fruits, almond, and saline.

  Bizarrely, this actually improved after open for 2 hours. No doubt,though, that this has started on the downward slope, but it is still beautiful. For those who like a mature touch to their chardonnay this will be a point, just now (don't have the accent grave to put over the 'a'), but I think the oxidized characteristics will take over, the fruit drop more, and the alcohol begin to stand out more. I'm still really liking it tonight, though. Bonnie finds it a bit too much this time around, but her initial thought was, "this tastes like a really expensive wine, though not really my style". $12 expensive. If I found a $20 chardonnay that drank this well, I'd buy it by the case. Hard to believe this is 10 years old, now. Well done.
