  After about an hour opened, the nose of this chardonnay really opened up. There are hints of apple with floral notes, but what really hits you is intense honeysuckle and caramel, edged with toast. I suspect this is coming to the end of its drinking life as the taste, while still having a lovely balance of acidity with a rich structure has elements of a fading finish.

  Soft with tones of vanilla and honeydue mellon on the front of the tounge. Oak blew off. Easy drinking. Better than the last one. Worth the money as a club member.

  Not very good. Above average in that it is complex, yet it lacks a core. The fruit being too scarce and the weight thus unbalanced, the wine comes off as too tart. I nursed a glass through fruit-cheese-salmon-bread app combos, and later had a leftover splash with the potluck buffet. I wouldn't choose to serve it with a very good meal if I had other medium-bodied white table wine options on hand. But with a good meal, maybe; with an average meal, sure, and happy to drink it.

  Light, crisp nose of citrus flowers and honeysuckle. Very clear pale gold in color. Crisp flavors of lemon and peach with a tart edge and long finish. Very nice!

  very light with Apple and Oak. For the money the standard issue Chard is better wine. I should wait a year or two on one of these and see if it does something in bottle.
