Had this with rotisserie chicken. The wine was golden yellow and had an aroma of citrus. The flavour was of lemon, vanilla, and citrus with a bit of pineapple. Smooth and buttery sensation. This was partially aged in oak and it is noticeable.

Had a quick sip as part of my ongoing reminders that I don't like Chardonnay. A bit of a wow as this was not your typical California Worthified Chardonnay. Was blown away by how delicate the oak influence was to the point that a California Chardonnay fan did not like it! It was not enough however to convert me. No score as it genre is not my thing. More life ahead than the WS review states.

Light golden color; nose is pungent with banana, acetone, then high alcohol; palate is full bodied, high unbalanced alcohol, thin non-existent fruit, low acidity; short finish. Difficult to drink, all alcohol and heat without enough fruit backbone. Poor value even as entry-level. 70

Seymour Wine Club Meeting 11/26/16 (Home of the Slywka's): Tasted blind. Nose of beeswax, mineral and wet stone. Got some honey, lemon, mineral, stone and melon on the palate. Ended with a 25+ second finish. This one had me stumped. Guessed a Sancerre. Shocked when the bag came off. Never really liked their chardonnay's before but this was nice. I gave it 92 points an it came in 5th on the night.

Baked apple, lemon tart, brioche, some alcohol on the nose. Medium+ weight palate showing creamy lemon and oak tannin. Definitely Napa Chardonnay. A touch more acidity would have really lifted this wine.

Golden color in the glass Still fresh as there is a green tinge in the glass as well Tropical notes with some acidity on the nose Creamy vanilla on the nose as well Balanced acidity some MLF - slight Green apple 1/3 of the way - slight flint- as well For a Napa Valley chardonnay I would to have a bit more balance.

Delicious, creamy and soft Chardonnay. Very new-world and quite commercial, but there is excellent wine making at work here. Tropical and stone fruit, generous oak and some mealy complexity lifts this well above average.

Light yellow. Golden apple and pear predominate. Creamy mouthfeel with nice balance between fruit, restrained oak treatment, and juicy acidity with only partial malolactic fermentation. Paired well creamy lobster ravioli.

Good pnp especially if you like oaky buttery chards. Opens up at room temp.

Lot of oak apparent on nose - toast
Slight creaminess on palate, peach and buttery texture
Competent winemaking of the traditional California style that resulted in ABC

Solid low price point Chardonnay. Clean, crisp, and good sweetness. One-dimensional but what do you expect?

White yellow. Plenty of oak leaves this a bit harsh with pineapple ripe pear and buttered vanilla. Soft and juicy with limited acidity.

Commercially acceptable value Napa Chardonnay. Light straw gold; light peachy, floral nose; soft, round, decent fruit; hot finish (14.2). Picnic and party wine.
