Good use of oak on both nose and palate - high oaking but well done and quite well balanced - decent tropical fruit and apple and good acidity on the palate stops this from being too gloopy. Better the next day. Alcohol (13.9% I think) well handled generally, a very good effort. Flavour profile is mostly butterscotch and pineapple. Good acidity on the palate and a decent finish. Around $20 and one of my favourite Chardonnays to date

Buttery and spicy, beautifully golden with some citrus. Easy to drink. Went well with appetizers and good company.

Has held up well in the cellar. Tropical nose and flavors.

Vanilla, peach a very smooth even creamy finish - one of the best Chardonnays I have tasted for the price

Golden color. Smoky lemon cream nose. A bit tart & very soft on the finish.
