Uhhh... did I get the same wine as the rest of you who said it was too oaky? 'Cause I didn't get that at all. A light, pale yellow color, with hints of grass and maybe a little apple on the nose. I thought the flavor was light, almost airy, though also a little buttery, with some apple/pear flavors. I guess there's a little oak in the midpalate (is that the right word?), but nothing overpowering by any stretch. A little bit of warmth and tannin sensation at the end, an enjoyable finish. Overall much lighter than I had thought it was going to be. Cellartracker said to drink this by 2011 but I think it can still go a little longer.

Faint raspberry nose. Fig and apricot with a brief honeydew finish. Not bad for the price.

Good but not great. I thought the same of the first one so I held this bottle for a year. For the QPR I think there are better options.

Overly oaky on the nose and palate, yet held up well to a mushroom cream pork chop.

A little more oak than I prefer but overall a decent chardonnay.
