Rated 90 by WS and 91 by WE. Have had limited exposure to Columbia Valley chardonnay, so picked a label I'm familiar with because of their cabernets and Semillon offerings. Aromas upon opening included pear, almond and spicy oak. There was a confluence of flavors on the palate that changed with exposure to air but included melon, cream, apricot, yellow apple, ginger and crushed gravel. A medium-full mouthfeel with a hint of sweetness supported by a crisp, mineral texture that led to a generous, moderately long finish. Good stuff that plays well above its' $20 price tag.

Fairly thick and translucent. Pleasant oak and vanilla bouquet. Toasty oak carries to a long finish.

Very nice Chardonnay. Medium to full mouth feel. Tastes like they added some Semilion. Nice tropical fruits. A hint of cream and oak. Long finish
