Pear and lemon. Pretty acidic and crisp, not too buttery or oaky #brightcellars

Nice minerality, not too much oak, brûléed lemon curd

Monterey chardonnay. Some acidic citrus with vanilla and a little oak are overshadowed by some heat on the short finish. Nothing overly offensive but better CA Chardonnays at this price point

A pretty good value, and far better than many in the sub $10 price range.

Strong alcohol taste. Tastes like sour fruit. Would not buy it again.

Fruitiest Chardonnay I've sipped, very light with lots of citrus
