Amazing wine for $27 at San Diego Wine Co. Thick, oily and viscous. Legs, legs, legs. Honey, caramel and crime brûlée in the nose; very rich. Rich, full wine in the mouth, unctuous, mouthfilling without being ponderous or too fat. Really lovely finish. If you haven't guessed, I love this style. No, it doesn't have the acid backbone or precise structure you might find in "better" wines, but it doesn't carry their price tag either. To me, it's fab. 5-13-18-9: 95/100.

Wonderful chardonnay. Burnished yellow-gold with nice legs. Lovely caramel, crime brûlée nose. Rich, thick wine in the mouth. Gorgeous fruit. Creamy, rich, round, but not even a hint of fatness. Just excellent balance near perfection. 4-13-17-9: 93/100.

Nice mouthfeel, but odd bitter finish. Opened a second bottle just to verify it was not the bottle. Still the same disappointing result
