The best unoaked US chardonnay that I have come across. I have been trying in vain to find something that I enjoy as much as a couple of unoaked chards from Sicily that I have tried and until I tried this wine I was about ready to give up. Great crisp pineapple nose with very nice minerality, acidity, and fruit. Also a nice medium length finish. Found it for 12.00 at Costco and will be back to buy 6 more.

Not a great name here -- steel -- but I understand the reasons. Chard fruit, a bit of hairspray nose to it, a bit of over done character to me in the aromatics and palate. I can understand why people would like it but I don't.

Standard average quality CA Chardonnay. Decent but not great.
