March 13, 2015 - I bought this as part of a mixed auction lot, and figured a $20 Chardonnay from 2006 would be a candidate for the sink. To my surprise, this was a very enjoyable bottle. The nose is somewhat muted, but there are very nice peach, butterscotch and vanilla notes on the palate, and the texture became increasingly creamy as the wine in the glass approached room temperature. I certainly wouldn't hold, but if you still have a well-stored bottle or two I think you'll be very pleased.

January 29, 2011 - Citrus notes. Nice oak with some butter. Very fine finish. Rich, golden yellow in color. In a blind wine tasting party with 14 people, this was choosen as the top Chardonnay by 8 people, beating on the much more expensive Frank's Family Vineyards chardonnay! On sale at Von's in CA right now for $12.50. Sweet deal.
