Incredibly well made chard at this price point. Balanced, creamy but not buttery, nice acidity level.

Great, balanced chardonnay. Subtle but solid fruitiness, and fun, almost serious. I would pair it with anything, but is probably aim it with a good Scottish cheese or fish. Good by itself, I'd get two bottles just to be sure it doesn't go too quickly. Highly recommend.

Not for me. Too much oak, slightly flabby.

The wine is mellow,,,too mellow it is lacking depth slight bit of fruit up front but disappears mid to finish. The minerality is very subtle. This is an easy drink, but price point will dictate.

"a vibrant and well-structured chardonnay, with pronounced minerality and a fresh finish"

First wine review. Can definitely taste the hint of green apple and pear. Buttery and decent acidity. Kinda high tannin imo but still an early rating so I wouldn’t know

This is good, but it's not as good as the last couple $18 chardonnays I've had. So ok, wishlist because it's good, but if 69 miles wine or Jess and Jules is available, get those instead.

Fairly decent Sonoma Chardonnay! Not oak heavy....but disappointed because this was a substitute for the Lioco Chardonnay that the company could no longer get. 🙄 I am reasonable things happen, just not really a fair comparison seems watered down, although nothing offensive and I did save a few $.
