An Oaky Chardonnay from California. Showing lemons, apples, oak, vanilla and spices.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity. Creamy and buttery.

Simple and unbalanced. Too oaky for me.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

83 points.

Round and flat. Comes across as smooth but then ends up being very boring.

I don't respect this wine but I kind of like it. Big butter, total absence of acidity, apricot and rich tropical fruit.

I don’t normally drink Chardonnay unless it’s “unoaked” but the “butter kissed” grabbed my attention. I never could imagine a wine tasting buttery but it really does. The zesty lemon taste however overrides the butteriness.

Well balanced, nice apple and vanilla, can definitely taste the butterscotch and butter, but not overdone.

Very smooth. Easy to drink. Not bad for such a cheap bottle.
