Not sure why I expected this to be anything more than weighty, oaky, buttery CA Chard? Best thing it has to offer is a handy screw cap. Choices were limited at a vacation supermarket. As the old Knight guarding the Grail uttered in The Last Crusade Raiders movie... "He chose, poorly."

Another "bargain bin" find- although this one was not such a bargain. Good color, attractive nose. Not very fruity, many off-notes on the palate. Just seems disjointed and not very attractive. Can't really put my finger on it, but this is just not right for a wine in its price range. Not horrible, but not something I'd buy again at any price.

Typical flavors of a mass market California — tropical flavors and lemon accented by buttery oak. Mouthfeel is somewhat rounded with appropriate acidity. There’s not a lot of depth to this wine, but it’s built in a style that will have mass appeal. Better served on the cool side as the oak grew more prominent/more bitter with air.
