February 7, 2024 - Vanilla and oak nose with vanilla, oak, butter and pear flavor.
November 16, 2023 - Not as bad as expected, but still just too ubiquitous to consider buying (this was a freebee). That's why I would put this in the category of "$14 BTG offering at any dining establishment in America" wine. It will appeal to a broad audience, but aficionados will likely take issue with the astringency and heavy oak influence. Thankfully, not in the magnitude of Rombauer and the like, so I can still enjoy this with some food.
5+10+13+7= 85
September 27, 2023 - A nicely dry Chardonnay. Best served a little unchilled.
September 6, 2023 - Ordinary but cheap, good value. Enjoyable but not a buyer for us.
September 3, 2023 - A bit sharp for Russian River Chardonnay
July 25, 2023 - Pretty good with shrimp and bay scallops
February 5, 2023 - First aromas of candied pineapple and pear. But this wine is mostly dominated by winemaker decisions: French oak they say, but I am getting nutmeg and dill, herbal, and coconut and chocolate too.
Pale straw color. Super smooth and easy to drink. Would buy this over and over.
