  A blend from various sites. Heavy bulky bottle and striking (garish) label. 15% alcohol and I think that contributes to a slightly disappointing experience. I've always rather liked a 'full on' style of Californian chardonnay but I think this is overdone. The 15% doesn't help.

  I Let sit in the glass for around 30 minutes before consuming it. Served with a burrata with peaches. First impression was that the pairing gave it a really good nutty note that accentuated the dish well. Radiant golden hue. Nose of floral, tropical, oak, vanilla, almond, and melon. Taste was good, stone fruit, with expressive oak, almond, crème brulee, and buttery notes. Felt round and full in the mouth but I thought that it lacked a bit of balance the acidity was much and it was also a bit harsh on the palate. Overall, I enjoyed the wine, but maybe not my favorite oaked chardonnay in this price point? Very good!

  Showing some age- turning a deep yellow. Nose has apricot, citrus. Lovely mouthfeel, luscious. Apricot, lemon and good length of not a bit oily.

  Orin Swift Mannequin Chardonnay hit the spot. Creamy lemon curd, green apple, peach, melon and pink peppercorns.
