Hard candy notes of pineapple, pears, vanilla, coconut, spices, and toasty oak. Teeters on oak bomb territory but it is saved by crisp acidity and a smooth texture.

Pear notes on the nose, with a touch of bananna-peel. Good fruit, thankfully light on the oak. Slight crispness, and a bit of caramel, on the (short) finish. Good for the price.

Aromas of pear, citrus, oak with a strong flavor of green apple, when chilled to 40-50F. After warming to room temperature the flavors diminish to one-dimensional slightly buttery oak... drink cold! The finish was simple and of moderate length.

Light and easy to drink. Not the big Chardonnay I expected. I didn't get any oak or butter but smooth fruit. A nice sip- while- cooking wine or pair with fish or seafood pasta.

Best showing of this wine yet. Pear and apple, hints of oak and vanilla.

Nice, not great Napa chardonnay. Not a lot of anything going on here but a bit of oak, a little lemon cream, some nuttiness and a decent finish.

Oak and citrus on the nose with a short finish. Not much going on. I agree, drink very cold.

Unbelievable value! Super Chardonnay for the money! Better than some $30 bottles I have had.
