Light golden yellow in color. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of apples, lemons/limes & some pears with overtones of minerals & a hint of vanilla/oak. Medium light bodied with a good concentration of balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of apples, lemons/limes & grapefruit with minerals, spices & a hint of vanilla/oak. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present. Very good QPR when found at discount.

There was nothing about this $20 bottle of Chardonnay that impressed me. After all, I can buy a bottle of Kendall Jackson reserve for $12 and get better juice. Heavy on oak, with strong buttery malo fermentation.

Amazing for $10 at Costco. Light Golden. Restrained nose. Lovely mouthfeel. Crisp. Vibrant. Light fruits and honey in the mouth. Long refreshing finish. I really didn't get oak as someone had commented. Wonderful everyday Chard if you're looking for one.

Calif. value 2019 Sbragia Family Chardonnay Russian River Valley ($10 on sale at Costco). Sharp mid-gold, viscous (14.1 alc.); tropical, pear, malolactic nose; low-mid acids; medium-full depth; long unctuous finish (some residual sugar?). Easy sipping w/cheeses, appetizers. 15-15.5 UC Davis scale, 88-89 other scales.

Nose of green apple and cotton candy
Taste of earth, lemon grass, a little oak, little butter, creamy. Nicely balanced for a value bottle.
