 Tasted by Christyjh on 1/8/2011 & rated 75 points: Ok kind of bland (4151 views)
 Tasted by David_T on 7/24/2009 & rated 80 points: Apple & butter notes on the nose. Some citrus & tart apple coming through on the palate. Not as oakey as I thought it would be. The finish is little funky, but for such a massed produced wine this is OK for the price & has good acidity. (4390 views)
 Tasted by admid on 7/5/2009 & rated 79 points: Steaw yellow with greenish notes
Aromas of pare
Vanilla and pineapple, but a small touch of rubbery
Pretty good length for such a wine (4422 views)
 Tasted by Tigg on 3/13/2009 & rated 82 points: A bit of orange, a bit of oak, a bit of butter, a bit of sugar. Goes down easy when well chilled. Sure it's cheap and not memorable. But these days, cheap and not memorable is so much better than 20 yrs ago. Educated wine drinkers will wrinkle their noses. However, if wine isn't the focus and you just want some drinkable white, this is pretty good bang for not much buck. (4660 views)
 Tasted by cormyr on 3/9/2009 & rated 75 points: chardonnay is not supposed to taste like hickory farms smoked sausage (4642 views)
 Tasted by cassel on 2/26/2009 & rated 82 points: Better yhan 1st bottle but still not a buy again. (1980 views)
 Tasted by FjordogFjell on 2/13/2009 & rated 78 points: 65 NOK / 37,5 cl. Fin chardonny lukt, blomster og lovnad om litt mineraler. Søt smak som neste overdøver resten, gulplomme, og litt mineralitet, kort ettersmak. 1 dag i flaske: Voldsom lukt, tutti frutti, best rett fra kjøleskapet. (158 views)
 Tasted by DanSm on 2/7/2009 & rated 75 points: Cooking wine. (2049 views)
 Tasted by Telly_S on 12/23/2008 & rated 79 points: Pear aroma, creamy peachy pear flavour. OK for the price. (1736 views)
 Tasted by Henman on 12/13/2008 & rated 84 points: Very classic new world chardonnay.Full and lush with tropical fruit and strong vanilla and oak aromas.Not perhaps an elegant wine but decent QPR. (2061 views)
 Tasted by cassel on 12/10/2008 & rated 80 points: Oaky sweet don't buy any more. (1992 views)
 Tasted by winetennis on 12/2/2008: Agree with other comments. My wife said "too strong," I said "oaky," all in all we have agreement with oak monster taste, great color, oak nose, average finish. Good QPR given the low cost. (2079 views)
 Tasted by Lainie on 11/4/2008 & rated 80 points: 1D, sweet, oaky, boring, clean. (2049 views)
 Tasted by LesterKwong on 2/23/2008 & rated 83 points: Popped and served. Cream of apricot pie with a matching amount of butter and oak on the nose. In the mouth, this wine is rather flabby and saturated with an oakiness. (1157 views)
 Tasted by TBA on 1/25/2008 & rated 77 points: 2 more bottles. Drinkable, but weak. Won't buy more. (2327 views)
 Tasted by TBA on 1/20/2008 & rated 80 points: This one was much better than the last. Oaky pineapple water, but some balance and drinkable. (2328 views)
 Tasted by TBA on 1/15/2008 & rated 70 points: This is a classic. The classic "manufactured" wine you read about. Medicinal pineapple and muted coconut... and alcohol. Some acidity, but it isn't natural and the wine doesnt pair with any food. Picked up at Walmart for 4.00 per bottle. Not the bin 65 of years past. Granted, this is very young, but this is horrid! (Note: I tried the 2007 Merlot, Shiraz and Cab. The merlot and shiraz are winners at $4.) (2361 views)
