Nice golden color. Decent legs. Nose of some citrus, melon and mango with some minerality. No oak so no vanilla or smoke. Ok acidity. Some butter (I'm guessing from maloactic fermentation) with alot of bluestone coming through. Perhaps a bit of lemon peel as well. Decent attack all the way through. Quite enjoyable since there's a lack of oak.

Good chard. Great QPR - tropical/citrus fruits dominate. This is definitely a drink now bottle, and it is nice at the 10-12$ pricetag. Would buy again.

This wine is very fruit driven and clean. No oak. I had the privilege of meeting the winemaker, Vince Edwards, last week. I tried four of his wines, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Cabernet-Merlot and Pinot Noir. I liked the Chardonnay the best. A very pleasant wine and a pleasant experience.

Blech. There's sweat on the nose, and flat, one-note butter. I'm not a new-world chard person, though.

Juicy and crisp, well-rounded, ripe and tropical fruit, blossom, lovely weight, freshness, bitters and length. Excellent QPR.
