$18.99, excellent value Chardonnay that has wonderful balance of Apple and pear notes matched by toasty oak and subtle butter notes

Wow. Lots of purity of fruit. Very polished. Totally new world. Very well done and especially so for the price. A nice surprise.

Not over oaked, not over buttered. Something I could drink on any day even in the winter.

Wonderful summer starter wine. Light oak, thick creamy body, fruity and a touch nutty
