  Decent quaffing wine, perfect for hanging out with a movie and a bowl of popcorn. It was a little hot when we first opened it, but that quickly disappeared with some air. It has medium acidity, and a creamy, round mouthfeel. Nice weight on the palate. Pineapple, honey, slightly oaky, melon at the finish. Not a complicated wine, not much of a finish.

  Nice, fruity and gently oaked California Chardonnay. Good QPR. Very quaffable stuff, but not very complex or engaging.

  On PnP the nose has a bit of heat initially but quickly diminished. Honey and a hint of toasted oak on the nose.On the palate, picking up a bit of oak on the front with melon. No real minerality or depth yet. Medium acidity with a short/medium length finish with a hint of spice. Mouthfeel is good with a decent weight on the mid palate.
  After 30 minutes still picking up honey and oak on the nose. Starting to detect a bit of green apple on the palate. Finish is getting longer, medium to medium plus, and is getting a bit creamier.
  This wine held up well over 2 hours so there is still plenty of life remaining in this one. Overall, not a complex chardonnay, but a nice easy drinker with moderate acidity that will stand up to food well. I found the roundness of the wine with the medium weight to be nice on its own as a sipper.

  Smelled like an old sponge. Taste was not as bad, but not good. Sour on the initial, o.k. midway through, and blah finish.
