  This bottle was a little off from previous bottles. Will not rate this one as it was unlike all previous samples.

  Flabby and disjointed with harsh oak that almost tastes artificial. More acidity would help here, but I still don't think there is enough fruit here to put this in balance. Acceptable QPR at $8, but I won't be a repeat buyer.

  Nice, light Chardonnay. Notes of lemon and butter.

  Above average QPR at $7. Worth buying a case at this price to have as a everyday wine. Ample fruit aroma and flavor backed up by nice acidity with balanced oak finish. Very enjoyable food friendly Chardonnay.

  bummed that the Chalone tasting room is closed, so had to crack this back at home after a hike in the Pinnacles.
  nose - pineapple, white flowers, rich and fragrant creamy nose
  mouth - nicely concentrated, full bodied, pit fruit meets cream, with a squeeze of lime. Good back end acidity.
  With food it will be perfect.
