Soft apple notes, but the oak doesn't taste like it's well integrated. The finish is like I licked an oak plank.

Very good wine. Mellow, light but you can taste the fruity flavors. We had it with a salad and artichokes for dinner.
If you want a good Chardy at a good price, you won't go wrong with this choice.

Straw color. Granny Smith apple tropical and pear aromas. No butter di-acetyl notes. Apple and pineapple with toasted oak flavor.

Served on AmTrak. Saw a ton of these walking down the aisles. Not a bad little chard to enjoy on a train ride. Crisp apple with a touch of citrus. Great for our 90 degree west coast days.

Pours golden in color. Honeydew melon and pear with a hint of vanilla aromas. Pear and Granny Smith apple flavors with a lot of butter followed by a subtle hint of acid on the finish. A definite Quality for the the price wine

Full of delicious bright apples and pears, this wine tastes more like a PG than a Chardonnay, with a soft lime finish. Amazing food wine.
