This wine seems young today 1/1/2016. Needs maybe to open up. It seems well balanced but not the deep fruit and finish I have come to expect from this wine. $80-90 direct. Have a few more bottles. Will come back to this. — 9 years ago

8.0

Maybe. A light oak bouquet but then a light buttery balance with light fruity, like citrus in front and solid balanced but mineral-like aftertaste. Overall drinkable if you like a mineral finish. but maybe a bit forgettable too. Nothing too bad to complain about but nothing so great to make it a must buy. Light balanced, good for the price. Paid $8 BevMo! — 9 years ago

Yes. This is a nice drinking wine. But I agree with others who say it is a great stand alone wine, more than a good food pairing wine. The sweetness of the bing cherry/blackberry depth is great for taste and mouth feel but may overpower foods. Might be good with some cheese and dry crackers. Still as an enjoyable drink I would buy this again. Price is great at under $10. — 9 years ago

9.0

Yes. Deep luscious smooth drinking wine. 15.7% alcohol means close to dessert wine so should taste good. It does drink nicely but is no light fair. Probably best with a good steak. Price 29.99 BevMo! — 9 years ago

2014 vintage on December 2, 2015. Dry and not much fruit flavor. Smooth might be a word but nothing much there to taste. Got this from the American Airlines wine club. — 9 years ago

8.0

Maybe. This is a nice wine. It's oakeyness seems to be greater than it's fruit. A smooth mouthfeel that lacks crispness. You will like this wine if you want a creamy oak Chardonnay, but you won't if you want a crisp acid balanced with fruit wine. Paid $25 Il Fornaio. — 9 years ago

Standard light oak nice finish balanced wine. For the price this is a winner. If you are not into an oakey Chardonnay (partial malolactic fermentation) this is a great go-to wine. In a blind taste party this would be considered a wine better than its price. Highly recommended. Just enough creaminess and oak to know it is a Chardonnay. Nice. Forgot to assign vintage: 2013. Price paid: 10.99 — 9 years ago

Nicely balanced wine. Butter/oak/mineral. Not recommending it for the price but a very nice $20 bottle. $10+ for the name? Probably not worth it. But not Naming something instead here. — 9 years ago
