  Balanced. Stone fruit with a hint of butter. Probably needed to be cooler than cellar temp.

  Nice straw colour with attractive bouquet. It's got big ripe melon pear nectarine redattractive flavour even chilled. Fairly high oak but good structure and acidity so a good finish. I really like the wine and the QPR. Could cellar a few years too.

  This is a typical California chardonnay in the New World style. It's a big chardonnay. It's 14.4% alcohol indicates its ripeness. The oak is quite evident and adds some butterscotch and nuttiness. Even though I've drunk plenty of grand cru white Burgundies, I still like this wine with its ability to stand up to full flavored foods. Of course, the price is reasonable relative to the Burgundies.

  Antonio Galloni is spot on with his Vinous review. Very nice Chardonnay especially at super-sale price I purchased at.

  Pale yellow/straw color opulent nose. Boisterous palate of apple, butterscotch and lemon and the back end and into the long finish. We’ll balance. 14.4% but you don’t taste it.
