  Yummy, fruity but not tart.

  Floral notes of acacia and verbena. Butter and peach on the nose and palate. Finishes with an odd mild bitterness which lingers. Overall it seems a bit muted, perhaps from being in the cellar for too long. I give it an 83, my wife gives it an 87, so an 85.
  
  The wine looks greenish gold colored. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like peach, verbena and acacia. It tastes like peach. The body is light. The wine has angular texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has low acidity.

  nothing special nothing bad - but it was paired served with bay scallops - which were so good that we forgot to drink the wine....so wine was ok and a decent compliment - and we used the leftover wine for a marinade recipe for pork chops...lets see how that turns out....the note by sfwinelover right below below says it all....

  Fairly recent one off Costco purchase at about $10. Similar tasting notes to the '16 with a bit less oak. Green apples, pears and lemon oil on the nose, consistent on the palate with the aforementioned oak and a pleasant crème brulee creaminess. A part of me is definitely impressed with the reliability of this bottling at this price point from year to year. It's pleasant, well-balanced, can be consumed the day it hits the store shelves, and pairs easily with fish and poultry. If you're looking for Aubert complexity, Ramey structure or white Burgundy acidity and chalkiness, you'll be disappointed, but if you're looking for those things in a $10 bottle of wine, hey, caveat emptor. Really solid for what this is, and if you're looking to bring down your average wine consumption price, you could certainly do worse than this, its pinot counterpart and the Kim Crawford SB. Should drink decently for at least a couple-few years. 88-89
