Not over the hill yet. Still drinking beautifully. Full-bodied, smooth and creamy, this is packed with rich flavors of honeysuckle, apple and pear. Everything a Columbia Valley Chardonnay should be. There's plenty of vanilla on the finish, but it doesn't go over the top. In my opinion, the best this label has ever produced - by far. What a fantastic value. 50+5+12+16+8=91

Polished and silky, this medium weight chardonnay offers a rich mix of pear and honeysuckle flavors. The long, creamy finish is loaded with apple, vanilla and spice notes, but doesn't go "over-the-top". In a style that will appeal to a vast audience, this is very easy to drink and incredibly well made for a $9 wine. 50+5+12+15+8=90

Funny, but when I took the first sip it tasted like buttered popcorn. Very oaked with loads of butter. Once it was open and warmed up a bit, I liked it better. The acidity started to come through, again with the green apple and pear. Went well with the cheese and crackers we were eating.
