Not as buttery as my favorite Chardonnay, but decent. Smooth finish, and a light aftertaste. A true Chardonnay.

Aroma of butter and wheatgrass. Mineral chalky lemony in the middle.

A strange aftertaste and I agree with the previous ratings; very watery.

Nice balance with a nice touch of oak.

With little or no oak, this Chard is unleashed so that the fruit can shine through: Gala apples, pears, and a restrained splash of butter. An excellent wine for turkey, steamed vegetables, and eggplant with chow mein.

A lot of apple that clings to your taste buds.

Smooth, a little dry, which I like, great value.

Full disclosure: Husband’s parents bought a house a few years ago and inherited a wine collection so I was not expecting much out of this wine. I was pleasantly surprised though. Not heavy on the oak at all, pretty decent. Best with food.

Pretty light chardonnay, not to buttery which is a good thing. Some pear, lemon and vanilla with a touch of oak. A great summer wine to pair with the Texas heat, especially with a pp of $9 from Costco.
