September 12, 2020 - Aromas of pear, papaya, sesame, buttered popcorn and vanilla. Flavors of papaya, mango, banana, lemon meringue and hint of vanilla. Ends with a tropical fruit finish of 20-25 seconds. Great value for the money.
August 2, 2020 - Medium yellow in color. Buttered pears and lemon zest, florals, hint of sesame and tropical fruits on the nose. Rich, layered palate shows ripe orchard pit fruits, yellow-orange citrus, good acidity and a long floral perfumed finish.
March 22, 2020 - Light yellow in color. Buttered poached pears, toasted sesame, lemon custard and florals on the nose. A spherically textured wine shows ripe pears and white peaches, melted butter, medium acidity, whiff of oak on the finish. Quaffer...
December 17, 2019 - My last bottle of this QPR chard drank with turkey barley soup. Delicious go-to California Chardonnay.
December 8, 2019 - I think it’s already on the downhill. Wood tannins present and while still enjoyable, I don’t see this wine gaining in bottle
November 21, 2019 - Medium gold on the pour, It has enough mineral drive to be of interest and enough acidity to remain fresh. Yeasty nose and Lemon pith on the palate. There is a smudge of brown sugar on the finish as it warms However, these 3 bottles I recently bought (for a song at Total Wine) have definitely started to fade and are past their best. Well stored bottles may fare better. However I am not convinced this has long haul stuffing. Drink now
September 26, 2019 - Light yellow in color. Enticing whiff of toasted sesame that fades to reveals pears and peaches, melted butter, herbs, flowers and oak. Juicy and spherical in the mouth showing ripe orchard fruits, butter, vanilla, medium acidity and a floral and mildly oaky finish.
September 25, 2019 - Puligny Montrachet at $25 from Sonoma. Absolutely spectacular!
August 21, 2019 - This is an amazing Chardonnay for $25. Wish I had bought another case of this beauty. Drank with slow cooker pheasant. The wine is crisp, concentrated and hits all of the buttons for those that enjoy oaked Chardonnays. Drink or hold.
