Honey-hued. Aromas of almond, apple, butter, cream, minerals, pear, salt, toast, and vanilla. Medium-plus body with medium acidity. Smooth mouthfeel with a finish of minerals. Exemplary California Chardonnay: not super oaky with complexity. Outstanding value (under $10) for a well-known producer from Grocery Outlet.

Drank nicely over two nights and was probably best the second night. I enjoyed this bottle better than the prior one. Very good. Nice sub-$15 USD QPR. 14.8% abv which it carried quite well.

Solid good+ domestic Chardonnay. A bit on the round side, not flabby, but not exactly structured either. Easy drinking with no flaws. Good enough QPR at close-out $13 USD. 14.8% abv, but there's no heat or volatility on the nose, though the higher alcohol probably contributes to the textural impression.

Agree with Vinnut. Nice medium gold color. Unusually good combination of power and elegance. Generous but disciplined chardonnay flavors of melons and white fruit. As the label says, "a fullness of bouquet and flavor". Firm flinty finish goes nicely with the lush fruit. Exceptional balance between all the big flavors in this wine. Delicious.

Green apple and some tropical fruits. Not oaky and buttery. Great value for $8 at grocery outlet.
