I'm so impressed. For a mass brand this is great! Honey, tea, and jasmine with bright acid and a great balance. I love this wine!!

Solid Chardonnay, reasonably priced. Would buy again. Good colour, crisp, but flavors are a little flat.

Aroma of oaky butter and honey, dressed with round alcohol. Taste of balanced mix of sweetness and acidity, and pineapple with a touch citrus . Short aftertaste of lemon zest bitterness. Not complex , but simple and right to the point.

Yellowish in color.

Full-bodied and crisp with medium acidity.

Buttery on the nose with lemons and citrus. Not very attractive.

Dry on the palate with limes, grapefruits, cream, butter, Oak, vanilla and lemon.

Medium Plus on the finish with butter and limes.

This one is not for me. Too oaky and I can't get anything else. Very one-dimensional. The back label uses words like delicate and shy, but I have not seen any of this whatsoever.

Unbalanced with a lot of alcohol, 14.5% ABV.
