  This is one of those wines the sort of tease you with "what might have been". It seems to have many elements of a really good wine -- acid, fruit, oak , etc., but something is just off. A bit too much acid, then a bit too much fruit, then too much oak. Seems like balance was lost somewhere.

  2006 Imagine Chardonnay
  
  •The Stuff: 100% Russian River Chalk Hill estate Chardonnay. Aged in oak. A portion of each bottle benefits disadvantaged children.
  •The Swirl: Clean and well filtered with a nice golden yellow color
  •The Sniff: Melon and pear/apple aroma with hints of oaky vanilla
  •The Sip: The wine has a nice mouth feel but the mid-palate seems slightly off structure. There is a mild butter toast that includes an effervescence like a sparkling wine. A good apple flavor comes through as well.•The Score: Retail of $22, I wouldn’t re-buy this Chardonnay, but at $11 this is a good 3!
