  Pretty nose; fair amount of lemony goodness on the palate. All that and a decent finish made this a good buy.

  This wine has lost some foward fruit with age. But it is drinking well with nice faint vanilla and oak notes, good acid and a smooth finish. I really enjoyed this wine.

  A light citrus nose with a hint of cream. It drinks a little thin with little fruit and a lot of acidity. I am not a fan

  A very balanced California chardonnay, with welcome acidity. Touches of earth / green notes, with a flavor more of nut butter than dairy butter, also quite welcome.
  
  At $18 it was a fantastic value.

  Medium(-) lemon-golden, with narrow tears @13.5% abv. Medium wide-ranging aromas of citrus, eucalyptus, pineapple, savory quality. Dry, medium(+) acidity, medium alcohol, medium(+) body. Medium palate of lemon, apple, honeydew melon, caramel notes, and fresh herbs (~mint). Creamy, lees texture, complex and with gravitas. Very good length with upfront freshhness and slightly sweeter tones later in the finish which has a velvety feel.
