This Chardonnay is right now, out of this world if you like a buttery vanilla Chardonnay. In the finish, it almost makes you think you are gonna taste chocolate, but it never really comes through. Just shared with three other couples and it was definitely the hit of the night. Paired with smoked Gouda and sweet spicy cornicons. It actually doesn�t need to pair with anything, it was excellent on its own.

Possibly the first time I really disliked a CC wine. Dominated by oak and cream, with some tropical fruit in the background.

Broad sweetish oaky vanilla palate, clean neutral finish. Decent buy at under $10.

Stylistically sweeter than many; yet enjoyable. France can keep their over-priced drier white wines.

Best every day Chard. Eastern Washington is under-rated.

Eastern Washington Chard is my favorite. More fruit forward and rich than similarly priced California juice.

Strong nose, caramel popcorn. Fresh, refreshing, lemon on the palette.

Aromas of vanilla, oak and tropical fruit. Flavors of vanilla, tropical fruit and marmalade. A very good bottle for the money!

Just a great every day Chardonnay if you like 'em buttery (we do). Picked these up for $8.50 - great QPR at that price point.

Although typical american oaky style, this wine is a delightful sipper, nice medium body, straw color, creamy texture, mineral backbone, vanilla notes--at $8, a good one to keep around for vin ordinare blanc.

This is what the appropriate amount of oak in a chardonnay gets you ... flavor and character, not butterbombs.
