Mellow malo. A low acid, meringue-based Chardonnay that mixes in lychee, citrus peel, and roasted corn, with some secondary buttered toast and toffee.

Buttery, the most I've had thus far. Slight feeling of simple syrup on back of tongue. Hint of a soft grape bite

Somewhat dull- the 2015 I had previously was better. Over the hill?

Excellent for the price point (under $10). Citrus and pear up front with some butter later on. Clean finish. Overall a very good buy.
