The Sparrow Hawk reps are doing a magnificent job of full-court pressing this wine at Costco. But don't buy in......the sales job they are doing is infinitely better than this wine! They are like time share sales people and won't let you go. If you see them, don't make eye contact and run for another aisle.

The wine itself is nothing special and is about the same price as La Crema, which is a much better Chardonnay.

Melon and a nice balance of butter, though a tad lacking on the oak. A nice weekday Chardonnay.

Very buttery does not have the oakyness of a lot of Napa Chardonnays. Very nice overall.

Meh. Tastes a little diluted. Not bad though.

Stereotypical Chardonnay - With no excitement and nothing interesting.

Thought this was pretty good for a precursor wine with appetizers before a dinner with a big red. Pleasant, full bodied, not too oaky
