Really solidly structured California Chardonnay for around $15. The malo is done well, not cloying, with a fun breezy peach/apricot profile and a little acid bite on the end.

Apricot, sweet corn, husk. A surprising sense of balance at this price point.

Very solid chardonnay. It's single vineyard from Santa Barbara. No oak although it does go through malolactic fermentation. There is a good, medium body with decent acid and pineapple flavors. This goes on sale for around 11 dollars which is a complete steal.

Did not enjoy. Incredibly brassy without much body. Tried pairing with chicken and it didn't help
Not a fan.
