  Good and I don't usually like the vanilla oak style chardonnays. Clear yellow yellpw colour with hint of emerald green. Floral and vanilla nose. A touch of citrus and austere steelly mineral with smooth vanilla dominating but not overpowering. Well balanced. Medium long finish of tangerine. Nicely balanced.

  Overall very good for the value ($12 at volume).
  Not a buttery chard, which I like. A bit acidic and medium body. Also not fruity or oaky. Like an unoaked chard.

  Pretty nice, if sometimes a touch overpriced at close to $20- I've seen it for a little less, $15 ish, which is fair. Very softly buttery (something more like French toast, but from 3 rooms away), with gentle pear and maybe apricot. A little low on acid for my taste, but it was sorta present, making it close to balanced, but not really standing out in a specific way. In this price range I've had much more complex and/or intense whites, although honestly, not many chardonnays (which I think stand out less often in this price range than Sauv Blanc, dry Riesling, even Chenin Blanc). So, if very gentle, tasty, simple chards are your style in general, and you like a buttery note that doesn't overwhelm, it fits the bill.
