This wine has a lovely golden tint. Aromas of apricot, apple, pear and a very light citrus note appear in the nose. The flavors are fairly remarkable, especially for a $7 wine. Tropical notes, peach, pear and lemon-lime come forward, along with a hint of sweet oak. The acidity is zippy enough to carry a salad, seafood dish or light pasta meal. The wine finishes long and full. It is definitely a bargain wine, one reminiscent of old-line Chardonnay. — 5 months ago

First time with this varietal from Manchuela. Has a slight grey lemon tint that reminds me of some Alsatian Pinot Blancs, with a thicker mouthfeel like them. Lemon curd, Meyer lemons & I dare say a Burgundian feel, if not rather course. Drank in two halves, with plenty of air second time, which really benefited it. Very enjoyable, & for 17-19$, it’s a goddamn bargain — 2 years ago

Look: light w/ minor green tint
Nose: Lemon, vegetal, orange
Taste: sweet, gentle and playful acid, round tannins, gentle alcohol, lemon comes through fully, other hints of citrus.

Maybe too citrusy, but a really outstanding wine for the price

Very enjoyable with dark fruits and some earthiness. Nice long and smooth finish. Only issue was color which showed some brownish tint, so thinking drink up. — 10 months ago

This wine is dry, has a pale yellow tint and smells like lemons, flowers and just a hint of oak. It is a beautiful bouquet. The palate shows more citrus along with peaches and nectarines. There is a bit of orange zest on the finish, which is rather lengthy. The acidity is as fresh as you need for mussels or other shellfish. I used it in a mushroom broth - like you would make for mussels, but without them - and my wife raved about it. — 3 years ago

Deep golden in color, with a yellow tint.

On the nose citrus, limes, yellow apples, spices, light oak, vanilla and black pepper.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity and long fat legs.

Dry on the palate with limes, grapefruits, citrus, red apples, pears, light vegetables, spices, oak, light vanilla, light herbs and black pepper.

Tangy finish with bitter almonds.

This is a nice Oaky Chardonnay from Sonoma County. Rich and fierce, yet elegant. Tangy, spicy and interesting.

Needs 30 minutes to open up properly and relax. Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food. Spicy with nice complexity. The high alcohol is not noticeable, so you better watch out.

This 4 year old Single Vineyard still feels fresh and young, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Barrel fermented and aged in French oak barrels for 16 months.

14.6% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

Light yellow color with slight greenish tint; elegant mineral-laden nose of yellow grapefruit, unripe pear and pineapple, and hints of nettles and gooseberry; salty, fruity, and dry and grassy, and with a medium-long salty/spicy finish. Enjoyable with shrimp pasta. — a year ago

Old vines. Medium yellow with a greenish tint. Nose of white fruit, melon and a sea breeze. Palate adds a floral note. Acid skeleton really sets off the fruit. Long finish. Not at all what I expected given its origin. — 2 years ago

2021/8. Lots of deep fruit, with a dark tint for Barolo - tarry earth and a bit of truffle too. Lots of structure showing at this stage - this is perhaps entering a sterner middle age. — 3 years ago
