Maybe I got a bad bottle of this, because I am not understanding the high scores it's getting here. Lots of oak and buttery flavors, which I don't enjoy, and the relatively high alcohol content is quite obvious on the palate. In fairness, I typically don't like California chardonnay, but had hoped to be pleasantly surprised by this one. Maybe my remaining bottle will do the trick, but I suspect I will revert to Mâcon-Villages or Pouilly-Fuissé when I want a good, inexpensive chardonnay that matches my palate.

Very nice value Chardonnay
Beeswax and a little green pepper on the nose. The palate has the same pepper, some lemon and green apple. Unoaked and fresh

Bought due to WSJ rec. thought ok - front was interesting and back typical chard. Nothing really noteworthy.

Really delicious beach wine. Fresh and light with just a little spice...green apple ...no buttery oak ...simple but perfect for the moment.

Nice subtle tropical notes with a floral nuance. This wine is absolutely delicious and at a price point of $12 (Costco) a no brainer.
