  August 4, 2016 - Pleasant fruit (more tropical than green apple) and oak balance, but heavy on the palate and acidity can't lift it back up; 14.5% abv is more than this wine can support

  July 2, 2016 - Nice balance of tropical fruits, nuttiness, and floral aromas. Papaya, Mango, and some apple on the fruit profile with a nice creamy texture with low to medium acidity and some nice almond accents with a touch of butteriness. A little spice on the finish with the toasted oak. It had a slight floral aroma the first time I tasted it of acacia but not at much this time.

  June 25, 2016 - Starts off clean and crisp with some nice floral and citrus notes. Then is a bit of awkward chalk that comes through after mid palate that detracts from the wine but then fades. Nonetheless, still a very good wine.

  April 18, 2016 - Medium-light maize color. This is very middle-of-the-road in both its aromatic and flavor profile. Oak is present but judiciously used; there is a range of citrus fruit flavors but little in the way of tertiary nuance. It lacks the concentration, power, and structure of white Burgundy which (fairly or unfairly) must be the benchmark for all Chardonnay. One could do far worse for the $25 I paid for this bottle, but there's not enough intrigue here to make me a repeat customer.
