8.1

A classic and quiet basic Californian Chardonnay, nose is a fin blend of citrus, oak, butter and a touch of flowers, body is medium, with sharp acidity and what seems like an unsuccessful attempt to find a balance between weight and acidity. Finish us a bit bitter, not my kind of wine. My score 81, drink to 2017

This is Guenoc Lake Country Chardonnay, slightly creamy and zesty, and a good accompaniment to turkey.

Crisp and not too buttery or oaky. Enjoying with cheese and olives.

I learned about malolactic fermentation... But this wine has a lot of diacetyl buttery flavors...

Oak + cream + (Malibu W/ pineapple - sugar). I'm not a Chardonnay guy, but even this wine is like a glass #3 at best. And that's me being generous.

On sale. I see why. Light, airy, but No body. Woody aftertaste.
