Sonoma Valley Chardonnay

$14.99 at Total Wine; very good, but a bit pricey

Lightly tropical but not at all overbearing. Happily juicy and well-balanced in a way that keeps bringing one back to the glass.

Ripe rich melony fruit. Good balance.

Bright medium deep yellow. Sweet, fat, buttery nose. Ripe, fat, medium length, slightly bitter.2013 vintage.

Definitely prefer the Reserve

A lovely value Chardonnay! Pear, apple and orange flavors with a touch of clove and honey overtones.

Tangy, tropical, spicy. Has sort of an identity crisis; not a cohesive wine.

v18. Nice. Soft creme brûlée nose. Bright pear and honeysuckle fruit. Clean , soft oak and mineral finish.

Not as good as the Wildwood Chardonnay but good price and still tasty.
