Wow for an oaked Chardonnay, I like that! Green apple taste... Key lime... Smooth. Even Steph liked it.

Easy sipper with just the right amount of oak and buttery notes.

Citrus smell with a very buttery taste. Not my favorite Chardonnay, but still pretty good.

Enjoyed the soft buttery taste. It was wonderful with sauté snapper. I would definitely purchase again since I do not care for a strong oaky Chardonnay.

Much too buttery for my taste. Not my jam, might be yours.

New world style. Sun baked fruit with a seaside freshness to it. Apples, lemon curd, vanilla. Creamy malo mouthfeel. You don’t find alot of Monterey wine available in Sweden. Interesting to try.
