Very classical Californian Chardonnay with lots of butter and smoky oak. Light gold color, aromas of vanilla, cream, light grapefruit, a touch of smoky oak, medium body, lightly creamy, bitter acidity, short finish. Overall ok, a bit too oaky in style, yet still balanced. My score 83, drink now

This Chard has just a touch of creaminess, with honeysuckle floral bouquet, a slight touch of residual sugar, and a hint of lemon zest. No slouch at 13.9%! Stood up valiantly to spicy Jamaican cuisine.

At first taste I got sweetness, but the more I sipped it, I was tasting bitter/tart of citrus. Not bad but a little oaky for me.

Love trying new wines... Scent of peach and pear.. Little bit of lemon with some sweetness... Not too dry though.

Really nice banana and vanilla mouth but a weak nose. This is a really good affordable wine for your weekly need after work.
