Such a steal in my view at $12; full-bodied Chardonnay with ripe melon and pineapple flavors and enough acidity to provide some uplift and hold it together.

My judgment is swayed by the 11.50/bottle price point I paid, but even still this is a fantastic value Chardonnay IMO. Melon, lemon, lychee, minerality, mellow acidity and a long, warm baked apple pie finish.

Alongside the Kutch Sonoma, this one is 14.5 alcohol and you can tell, tasting acid structure regarding nice Jackson s book
Pale/med lemon, green hue
Nose is much riper with melon, lots of ripe melon, peach, pear, etc... very PGrigioesque
Palate is ripe attack, bold sweet feel, m acid, med+ length, oily and fat compared to number one, again enveloping acidity but creamier ... maybe a bit of RS 4/5 gr
a bit heavy, it's not as good as older vintages tasted recently

If you like a bigger (but not over the top) Cali Chardonnay this is one to look for. Great QPR. See my other notes for more details.

Over-oaked, to my palette.
