Such a good buy if you like buttery Chardonnay. Great weeknight wine. I have to say 13 better than 12

Not bad, but not a big fan of Chardonnay

Pale lemon in color with a yellow tint.

Numb on the nose with lemons, citrus and grapefruits.

Medium-bodied with bright acidity.

Fruity on the palate with grapefruits, lemons, peaches, oak, vanilla and green herbs.

Medium plus on the finish with bitter almonds.

A Drinkable Chardonnay, but nothing special. Too bitter on the ending for my taste.

Some Malvasia Bianca was added to the Chardonnay as well, to give it more of an Italian flare.

Light straw in color with a golden hue.

Typical California Chardonnay on the nose with lemons, tropical fruits, melons, lemons, citrus and white flowers.

Medium plus in body and creamy, with medium acidity.

Dry and fruity on the palate with lemons, citrus, tropical fruits, red apples, yeast and cream.

Medium plus in length on the finish.

Nice everyday Chardonnay from California. Nice, balanced and enjoyable in the warm Florida weather.

Added to the Chardonnay is the Italian grape, Malvasia Bianca, that gives it the white flowers aroma.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

Very light aroma of apricot and citrus. Drinks very smoothly...not that sweet nor dry...and finishes with flavors of oak, light fruit and butteriness.

Had the 2014 Vintage, overly sweet, lacks depth, maybe it will improve with age butI will not buy again.

Crisp Chardonnay, dry and pairs well when served with frozen mango chunks.
