Long after dinner is over, I could go on sipping and enjoying this wine well into the evening. And I'm usually more into red wine, or whiskey, after dinner. This is a nice Chardonnay that I have tasted several times before, and will continue to buy. There's just something I really like about it. Maybe it's the French oak - not too heavy, just right.

Not much of a Chardonnay drinker, but this wine was delightful. Would buy again. Not to heavy on the oak and we’ll made. Paired with smoked salmon and crispy Brussels sprouts.

Light yellow color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of hazelnut, grapefruit peel and talc. Flavors of bitters, citrus and a hint of cherries. Medium acidity, medium to full bodied. Drink over the short term.

Always a solid wine - vintage after vintage. Sort of an everyday version of Rombauer chardonnay -- slightly sweet, medium-to-full body, good balance. This one had a bit of tartness to go along with the usual crIspness.

I would say... a decent but rather "pedestrian" Chardonnay. No insult intended. Muted fruits with emerging lemon, some wood evident which adds a creamy texture to the acids from lemon. Pleasing peach at mid palette and had to dislike.

This wine is gold color in the glass with a somewhat shy nose of apple, pear, and oak. On the palate the wine is medium-bodied with rich flavors of green apple, pear, and citrus with a clear but not intrusive oak note. Medium acidity with a medium finish. Really nice chard for the $25 price point.

Really nice, young chardonnay that plays well above its' price point. Pale to golden yellow in the glass. Somewhat muted aromas of citrus and almonds. Flavors of apple, lime, wet stone and peach delivered on a pleasing, clean and medium-full mouthfeel. Crisp, balanced and slightly oily texture, leading to a lingering, moderately long finish. Straight-forward chardonnay, nothing fancy or complex, but enjoyable all the same. Excellent QPR and a wine I will purchase again.

Excellent everyday Chardonnay. Nice bright citrus and stone fruit with just enough oak flavor to balance it out. Paired well with chicken piccata.

Becoming one of my favorite chardonnay producers. Consistent with value. Smooth with lots of lemongrass on palate and nose.
