In this case "don't like it" is not exactly the same as "dislike it" --- there's very little to form an opinion either way. Nose had an odd note on opening, the wine had very little taste at all. It took an hour to open even a bit, and what came up was not entirely pleasant... there was a rusty iron taste in there and very little Chardonnay. For sure not a buyer for us.

Some Blind Cali Chards: Rich golden color. Smells tropical and rich (pineapple, mango, white peach, honey) but there’s some bright elements of cut flowers and perfume. Creamy, buttery texture but some medium acidity keeps it relatively fresh. Baked pear, rich golden apple, topped with cinnamon, toasted nuts and nougat, some underlying notes of flowers and honey nut oats. Uncomplicated but well-made and very tasty stuff. Mostly from Monterey with some Napa and Sonoma fruit thrown in, this spends time on French and American oak.

Randy would like this. Apple-y and lemon-y. Not too much oak.

Tropical fruit is buried under some seriously ripe Durian funk. Not recommended.
