Just purchased from a liquor store, the bottle was dusty and standing upright. But this wine was still in great shape. Smells nice, Custard and lemon on the palate, moderate finish. I'm surprised it STILL shows a little too much oak. This is a good value, but I believe the oak is too heavy in these Indian Wells' across the board.

We had this with scallop stir-fry on 10/2/11. It had an enjoyable and fragrant bouquet of pineapple, lemon, pear, vanilla, butterscotch and spice aromas. The palate was smooth, creamy and balanced with good acidity and flavors that followed the nose.
My wife didn't like it at all. She thought it finished too bitter.

Very nice. Cellar Tracker said this was over the hill. If that is the case I wonder how much better this would have been. Nice citrus and pear flavors. along with just the right amount of oak.

Chardonnay is not one of my personal favorite wines. However, my wife and I quite enjoyed this one with a pan roasted chicken with Cognac-peppercorn sauce. The wine is not particularly dry, or fruity, but seems to find a nice balance with a touch of acidity on the finish.

Aroma of pear, lychee, and a touch of Mandarine Orange; smooth and flavorful. Neither exceptionally dry nor fruity, but nicely floral on the tongue. Quite enjoyable.
