Consistently great Chardonnay. Price has slowly increased over the years but still a steal at under $15. I actually have one grocery/wine department here that carries this (although it was on a very low shelf)!
Soft Brioche, almonds, orchard fruits, sea spray, nicely balanced! Alc. 14.5% goes down like candy!
@Sharon B you would like this!

Candy orange, on the nose, orange oil, nice body and acidity, little bit of botryis vionger lees

Lemon, lemon pith, apples, honey, guava, sea spray, and minerals! Always delicious!

Toasted brioche, almond, and a hint of sweet. The sweet finish is what prevents me from liking this more.

Not much of a nose, nice, crisp apple and peach notes.

A bright Chardonnay without oak getting in the way of fruit. A bargain. January 2023.

As America’s ‘Next Top Somm’ @Jason Keefer put it “Frickin Steal!” White peach and hints of lime. Crisp and fun wine. Paired well with oven roasted buttermilk chicken and broccolini.

Really nice Chardonnay. It’s creamy some nice hints of butter but in a subtle way. Very easy to enjoy
