I always have a couple bottles of this reliable wine available. Good value as well. (5972 views) | | | Tasted by Obalde on 3/3/2012: apples, tropical fruit, buttery nose
tart yellow apple, bright acidity
good, drink now (4604 views) | | | Tasted by SunsetTastings on 9/25/2011 & rated 79 points: Surprisingly good for what it is. We've kept it chilled for the past 2 years, forgot we had it and finally drank it last night (9/24/2011). Crisp and didn't have the fake butter flavor that we expected. Would drink again with a weeknight meal, especially at the low price. (7180 views) | | | Tasted by Saltymandy on 7/28/2011 & rated 83 points: A decent dinner wine. Can't stand on it's own imo (7355 views) | | | Tasted by petitblanc on 5/9/2011 & rated 85 points: Substantial, deep color. Initially unpleasant, plasticky nose grew better with air, but still mediocre. Much nicer palate, balanced, clean, with some chardonnay character, light oak, and a short, sweet finish. Drink now or hold a couple years. (7730 views) | | | Tasted by pmarlo on 5/7/2011 & rated 89 points: Decent table white wine that goes well with food. (4645 views) | | | Tasted by sunalsorises on 4/30/2011 & rated 82 points: Drinkable but nothing special. (3433 views) | | | Tasted by Corgoson on 4/8/2011 & rated 85 points: Really tight nose with some tropical fruits, peaches, and hint of smoke. Dry, medium acidity with rich texture. Lots of sour pineapple and starfruit. White pepper in the back. Strong bitter finish. Bit of floral and crushed stone. The aftertaste is too dry and bitter. (3605 views) | | | Tasted by herivor on 1/19/2011 & rated 78 points: Vinho fácil,
pouco supreendente
levemente doce e enjoativo (3894 views) | | | Tasted by fingers on 1/15/2011 & rated 80 points: Tight and timid nose, just a little whiteflower and lemon. Light-medium bodied; a touch bitter and light in flavor. Notes of oak come through on the finish, but quite ordinary all around 4+8+13+5 = 80 (3981 views) | | | Tasted by awinestory on 12/18/2010 & rated 84 points: yellow, med intensity

Juicy, tart, and buttery all at the same time, this is a delicious, crowd pleasing California Chardonnay that has just the right balance to pair well with cuisine such as summer salads, white fish, or as an aperatif. (4006 views) | | | Tasted by drdebs on 10/31/2010 & rated 85 points: For those who like an oak influence in their chardonnay, this one has aromas and flavors of toasted bread, citrus, apple, and a spicy aftertaste (reminded me of allspice).

Producer websiteChardonnay The Chardonnay GrapeUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
