  A definite step up from the typical grocery store Chardonnay. Available for $17 at Total Wine. Medium to full bodied with a nice balance of richness and acidity. Will be buying more for near term enjoyment .

  Very inviting on the nose with citrus, flowers, vanilla and just a hint of cream. Almost full malo and some sur lie aging leaves this full-bodied and creamy with a moderate amount of butter. That isn’t usually my preferred style, but the acid in this is rippingly high and keeps it moving on the palate. There’s a lovely spicy and nutty thing going on at the end.

  A nice middle of the road Chardonnay. Tasted better at my ridiculous close out price. $5!

  Nose of orange citrus, vanilla and oak. Tastes of tangerine oil, golden apple, and pineapple. Some toasty notes. Creamy texture. Just medium acidity. Good value.

  A very well balanced Sonoma County Chardonnay. I guess they used all the new oak on the Alexander bottling , but I’m ok with that . Pure flavors of medium bodied gala apple, Asian pear, with a medium ripe pineapple , a touch of American oak and probably 1/2 malolatic , so more fruit than butter. A bit bitter and short in the finish but a solid block of varietal fruit with balance with oak. Serviceable it just won’t want you to put on a tuxedo or impress your date.
