8 months Hungarian oak, Honeydew spiciness probably comes off the barrels. Lots going on in this wine.

I love it. Price is cheaper at my local Sam's Club. (That's why I purchased one bottle. I have gone back for many more.) Great taste....Not too "heavy" as far as some Chardonnay wines can be (Bogle, etc) and not too light, fruity, and "whimpy" like a Pinot Grigio.

#wbc14 @takenwine Complicated #Sonoma Chard. Fresh yellow apple Meyer lemon toasted oak. Nice @ $18. Less oak would be nice. #wine #sommelier

Nice fruit but leans a little more to the okay side. Still very good for the price.
