This tastes like a much more expensive Chardonnay. Trader Joe's $13.99. Carneros region. Stone fruit, slight vanilla and oak. But enough mineral undertone to keep things in balance. Deep gold color. Definitely saw some time in barrels, but not an oak bomb. A really nice wine for the price.

I drank this out of a larger glass than I would typically use for whites but I gotta say that I think it really enhanced the flavor I was getting. Creamy on the nose with a taste that starts with butterscotch and ends with a simmer peach juice, clean with a touch of acidity. Nice linger on the tongue

Good value for the price. Nice oak with attributes. A hint of sweetness

This is fantastic! Very oaky and dry with notes of mixed berries and butter. Reminds me of Cakebread at 1/3 the cost.

Buttered toast and caramel popped corn. Werther's original. Great acidity with an iron railroad track minerality.
