Quintessential California Chardonnay, balance of oak and butter, with crisp berry-flavored finish, very boozy though

Extremely drinkable, crowd-friendly sipper. Not your prototypical California Chardonnay, but great character and deliciousness. Honestly, if I blind-tasted this, I would've called roussanne or marsanne. Tons of stone fruit, wet stone and spice. #molnarfamilywine #californiachardonnay #carneros

This puppy falls somewhere between tropical fruits, oak spices, and licorice smoke. Wooo boy, if only that could be said more often about CA chard

Tropical fruit bomb with pineapple, mango, and lychee for days. The perfect balance of oak that has a high tone of vanilla and a hint of toasted marshmallows. Lengthy finish.

Holy smokes! Smokey oaky finish on this little wine. This is a wine that full flavored Chardonnay lovers should rejoice over because its pack so much flavor and richness without the price. Its a bit 'in your face' for me, but a well made expression of a style that many people adore.

Not my style of Chardonnay, but a wonderful value for what it is: full malo, oak-driven, rich, buttery CA Chardonnay. Solid spine of acidity balances things out well.

Buttery, I don't even feel the need to continue. But well made for its style.

2018 Vintage and first try for this Chardonnay. Vanilla and buttery notes and smooth finish. Delicious with salads and chicken or seafood.
