Not a huge fan of oaky, California Chardonnays, but this one was actually quite pleasant. Yes, oak was clearly present, but not as much as in some other examples. Nice golden yellow color, full mouth-feel.

WoW wine club selection, April 2016. Just enough oak to satisfy. Favorite chardonnay I can recall.

Pre-Xmas Dinner wine! My white wine game is still mediocre at best, but I really like this! Wonderful balance, with nice hints of pear. Exceptionally smooth with a long finish. Excellent!!
