Super oak, super American Chard. Heavy rounded crowd pleaser. Nice to drink but not a wine of any character.

Fairly oakey and buttery. Not as oakey / buttery as I would like, but close. Notes of tropical fruit.

Lovely toasted oak flavour, but just a hint too sweet for a Chardonnay. When paired with even simple foods, the toasted oak is almost completely lost and only the sweet comes through.

I'm not a Chardonnay person, but agree with the comments calling it creamy and toasted. Doesn't have a huge depth of flavor, no scent. Paired it with a summer mint buttery pasta

Very okay. Butter bomb. Good if you like butter bombs. Not much acid. Won’t pair well with fatty foods but will go well with fruits and veggies.

Very oaky but interesting balance. Nice vanilla aromas.
