Pretty golden color. Smells like sweet Meyer lemons. Light flavor. Easy and smooth. Not too much of that awful buttery stuff. Plenty of apples.

Color of saturated god. Nose is straight yet light with ripe pineapple, roasted nuts, and oaky note. Taste is also a bit light and dull, with light fruity flavor, zest, a bit mineral, and addition of green apple. Aftertaste shows some warmth. Below average.

An amazing Chardonnay for $5.99 at Grocery Outlet. Smooth somewhat buttery and well rounded.

Pretty good. A little sweeter than I'd like, but not too bad. Marshmallow aftertaste? I'd buy it again.

Least acidic Chardonnay I’ve tasted. Not as crisp but nice finish.
