Unfocused, light, and over-oaked without adequate acidity. Not much buttery roundness. If one thing is worthy of mentioning, it is its contained alcohol. Disappointing.

Too dense. Not much chardonnay here - more new world chenin blanc style. Full, a bit smokey and buttery but lacks grat chardonnay's acidity and elegance. You could get 1-er cru puligny from decent producer for this money

If I knew my fruits I could probably better describe the bouquet and taste of this.... more like a full body sauv blanc, certainly not your typical cali buttery chard. Great legs and body on this, don't think I could sip it alone as it has a really strong acidity to it, but it is a great accompaniment to the gouda/prosciutto I'm nibbling on. Not the best qpr, but I've also done worse.

Never had this one before. Quite interesting. Nice acidity, exotic fruits. Undertones of smoke.
Nice wine, but for what you get in the end, it is a little overpriced over here in Europe (about 70 dollar).
