An extra year has helped it a bit compared to the last bottle I opened, but still a "does what it exactly says on the tin" wine rather than anything special. Lovely with food, pleasant enough on its own.

Californian Chardonnay isn't especially my thing, but this is a nice enough wine. A bit more tropical on the nose than might be expected but otherwise pretty much what it says it is. Well enough made, pretty well balanced, not over-oaked, it's a good versatile inoffensive bottle... but it doesn't "sing" to me at all.
