Sweet nose consisting of canned peach, quince, lemon curd, and honey/honeysuckle. Palate is waxy/jelly-ish and edges are totally wrapped in viscosity. Aftertaste of lemon candy / herbal cough drop. Rather short finish aromatically, with lingering bitter/warm suppleness (14% abv). Clean and textbook ripe Chardonnay and nothing more. Expected more based on the quality of Riesling from this winery. 87-88.

Medium gold in color; I'm having trouble picking out the aromas and flavors, but I think I smell apricot, and a little honey; high acidity; tastes like pair, honeydew, and lemon peel. I like it. I need to taste more white wines. Nellie likes it cold.

Straightforward but really excellent Chard at the price point, especially if you enjoy a bit of oak/malo character without flabby structure- a good dose of buttered popcorn with orchard fruit and decent acidity holding it together. Not an especially rich or engaging wine but probably nearly impossible to beat for a delicious chard that's just over $10.

Td- Smooth. Buttery. Light. A lil’ bitter aftertaste. Could kill a bottle easy. I like it. Wouldn’t have guessed it’s 14%
Cm-I suppose it’s fine. For a white.
