Not my favorite chardonnay. I prefer a more oak filled buttery blend.

One if my new faves! Love that the vineyard is sustainable :) this un-oaky Chardonnay is crisp and with more fruity hints than floral notes. A bottle of this doesn't break the bank!

Fetzer Sundial 2013 California Chardonnay. Sundial used to be a nice, inexpensive enjoyable summer quaffer. But this one ranks as the most boring bottle of the year. Not so bad you couldn’t drink one glass and not good enough to want a second. $6.99 suggested retail and about half that at various supermarket sales. Note to winery: Wine has to taste good in order for its sustainability to matter. This is all we drank because we couldn't sustain tasting it any longer.

Terrific under $10 chard. Rich color, well balanced, Apple? Aroma and flavor. Will buy again.
