July 24, 2017 - Still drinking well. Crisp, clean, easy to drink. A step up from grocery store quality white wine.
February 12, 2017 - NOT YOUR TYPICAL CHARDONNAY
Wow, nose of apple blossom and grapefruit.
Super long in the tasting, this is Granny Smith apples and pomelo's (big Chinese dryish grapefruit) and not cloying or fat in the slightest. I didn't even get a hint of oak (sometimes a Chardonnay can clobber your tastebuds with oak and fat fruitiness, but this was a delight).
Superb with my dungeness crab, broccolini, baked sweet potato with butter, avocado and romaine salad. Yeah, okay, an unconventional menu but it was perfected by that Carneros Chardonnay.
Probably too fruity for more delicate seafood, but with the crab it was marvelous.
Very very unusual. A delight. Buying more.
January 19, 2017 - Smooth and rich green apple and pear. Great value that drinks above the price point.
November 7, 2016 - Not sweet. Nice chard. Good value
October 24, 2016 - Pale yellow in the glass. Nose of grapefruit and lime. Pear, apple and subtle oak on the palate. A little tart on the finish, but nice for under $10 at Costco.
July 16, 2016 - Interesting combination of understated citrus, butter, and vanilla. Pleasant but not mind blowing. Went nicely with our baked chicken. Enjoyed it but will not go out of my way for it.
April 11, 2016 - Creamy, nice notes of apples, melon, and a hint of gouda cheese. Great wine. Well-balanced between the creaminess and tartness.
April 3, 2016 - Better and more balanced than the previous bottle. Long finish with with citrus and butterscotch. Worth the full price of this wine.
March 29, 2016 - Got this at a 50% at Costco. Great value at the $10 a bottle, but a full price.....meh. Thin, very little oak and butter and it needs a touch more of both.
August 22, 2015 - Bright white fruit with balanced acidity, subtle oak. Soft on the palate with a smooth finish. Pairs great with shrimp and pasta in a lemon garlic cream sauce.
