I was really hard on this wine in my first review, but this time I tasted it and evaluated it with grilled chicken in a butter/wine sauce and it was much better. It's acidity works well with food, but it's just not a wine to drink by itself.

This is an enjoyable, albeit slightly disappointing wine only based on the price. Medium weight and beautiful clean chardonnay fruit flavors, little, if any, cream or butter. Oak well integrated and balanced with the fruit. Lots of acidity. At this price, however, I would just expect more depth and concentration. I can't, for the life of me, figure out what some of the other notes were tasting - new world chardonnay phobes I would guess, (or listening to GV too much) but this wine is certainly not the poster child for that sort of thing.

Wow, was this ever disappointing. It has a harsh, medicinal taste. Not much good I can say about this wine and I've got five more bottles and it was not inexpensive.
