  I served this in my wine course. Fairly neutral with medium weight and some citrus nose. Pleasant, but nothing special. Seems to not have undergone much or any malolactic fermentation.

  Everything to like about Chardonnay ... sour apple, nice minerality with a hint of spice, a little petrol on the nose, uncluttered with oak or butter.

  Fairly consistent with previous note, though I did detect more tropical (especially pineapple) and stone (especially pear) fruit on the nose. A bit more syrupy sweet than I remember, but a solid amount of acidity keeps things in check. I enjoyed it a bit more than the last time.

  Agreed with the previous note about the strong citrus bouquet and flavor. Some nice pear joins the party and I noticed a small amount of heat in the finish. Definitely a nice chardonnay and more refreshing than I thought it might be. I'd buy again for the right price (under $15).
