Good traditional chardonnay. This is fermented in French oak, but isn't too heavy and no thick buttery taste.

Sister wine to the Claret, but much harder to find. Good, easy drinking un-oaked Chardonnay. Smooth, with nice citrusy fruits. Good everyday wine.

White fruits, a hint of banana, vanilla. A dry wine with a sweet mouth.

Creamy but not buttery, smooth and slightly sweet, with pear and peach flavors, this wine paired nicely with spicy Jamaican cuisine (Kingston 11 in Oakland mon!)

Not a bad mildly oaked Chardonnay. Nice everyday wine. Little bit of creaminess on the finish.

Very nice and easy Chard - smooth, creamy vanilla notes with that perfect amount of citrusy twing on the backside. Drinks easy!
