P: MF body; RND, swt oaky entry with just a smidgin of (oaky) harshness on the finish; Nicely done in the style, & a MARVELOUS QPR @ this vendor's $6.95! Drink now & through mid '17, I'd guess.

Light citrus nose and flavor. Nice balance of flavor and acid. I like chard with a little more 2ndary fermentation for the more buttery palate. Otherwise not bad and i would buy again. Good wine, great price.

All this bitchen about too much wood. Believe it or not, there's still a huge market for oaky Chards. There's a place for both oak and un-oaked. I'm happy CC makes this variety. Want less oak, try their H3, it's great.

Way too much oak, which overpowers any fruit. The oak does not mellow out with time either. Other reviewer noticed too much butter, but all I get is the oak! Previous vintages much better.

Flabby and a little too sweet for my taste. Buttery but poorly structured. I wouldn't buy this again. Sometimes you can pick up a nice value but this time I got what I paid for.

Good QPR for a consistent Washington Chardonnay. Always a good value for an everyday wine.

Great qpr for an under $10 chard. Score indicates the value and hopefully helps balance the extremely low 80pt review on this wine!

See my review of their 2012 (no one could tell any difference). At under $10 its a reliably cheap buy. Bravo for homogenized milk (wine!).....
