Bread & Butter, Chardonnay, California

For fish stew - perfect. A wine that is buttery, vanilla and oaky. But not intrusive but elegant. Pineapple, raspberry, gooseberry. To this some minerality. Really great. The color, golden, elegance!

2018 vintage

Light tangy lemon, melon, banana sweet oak and vanilla on the nose. Strong butterscotch on the palate with a bit of mango, full body with smooth creamy texture and mildly acidic finish. This is a fat Chardonnay so understand why some people may not like it.

2019 vintage

Perfect to hot chilipasta with prawns. A bit oak, butter, nice in colour. We like it!

2019 vintage

Gyllengul färg. Kraftig smak, krut, smör, gula äpplen.

2019 vintage

Vaniljstång, smörjolja och ananas.

2018 vintage

I've been reading the comments and I totally agree this is a smooth easy to drink wine I really like it but my wife loves white loves chardonnays and she really really likes this one

Gave to Christina and Peter

2019 vintage

Golden yellow, butter, vanilla and oak. Characteristic, very smooth. Typical and well received

2019 vintage

Solid Napa chard.

2019 vintage

Fairly ridiculous over the top Chardonnay. Not unpleasant but incredibly forward. Give it a go for a tenner.

2019 vintage

I did not like this at all. Way too strong vanilla, almost undrinkable

2019 vintage

Nose: Big vanilla. Vanilla candle. Tropical fruit. Pineapple. Mango. High intensity. Palate: Vanilla. Vanilla bean. Oak. Tropical fruit. Low acidity. Medium plus body. Pronounced flavour intensity. Finish: Medium finish.

By the glass at Astoria Brasserie, Stockholm. Freshly opened. The nose is of a classic soft oaky chardonnay but the plate goes beyond and is less buttery and oaky than the nose implies which creates a good balance. Good palate presence and acidity abs frankly a very happy wine and a good surprise . 88-89

2019 vintage

Straw yellow colour. This wine does quite literally what it says on the tin. A heavy feel in the mouth and a nose of vanilla and butter, with a layer of added toast (not bread, so maybe not 100% literally). Thick and sweet in the mouth, which reminds me of ribena / vimto / squash (English syrup you mix with water to create the beverage). This wine has no sophistication. It is too thick and full. What it needs is …

2019 vintage

Not as good as buttercream tom drank

2019 vintage

Too much! Same for wife. Very strong California Chardonnay. Kind of smoked flavour to the taste. And eucalyptus. All just TOO strong tasting. Sadly not for me, despite a strong Recommendation from a compelling source. Will try tomoz night …..

2019 vintage

Deep yellow color, popcorn, butter, melon, very easy to drink, taste last for a long time!

2019 vintage

Vera american. Tons of butter and vanilla a little sent of peach- but the excellence in this vine is the balance. It’s à lot, but not too much!

2019 vintage

One of my wife's favorite Chardonnay's. Classic California oaky-buttery Chardonnay with a refreshing melon aroma.

2019 vintage

Good

2019 vintage

13.5% alcohol; composite cork with an aroma of a very weak-smelling catliya orchid, medium-weight foil; long legs, 12-karat crystalline gold; aroma of apple pulp just starting to go over the hill; full bodied but definitely over the hill in the tasting, bottle was flawed

2019 vintage

Goût de chêne qui rappelle un peu l'odeur d'un verre de scotch vide laissé pour la nuit, mais en vraiment très prononcé. Légèrement poivré, assez rond, faibles tanins, aucune acidité. Ne pas racheter, vraiment pas très bon.

2019 vintage

Simply loaded with vanilla I became intrigued after trying the 18' after it had been opened for nearly 5 days. That 2018 at that state (opened 5 days) was really good and reminded me of a French beurdeaux blanc but slightly sweeter. Tonight the 19' has that sweetness, also has that vanilla, but lacks the melancholy that 5 days opened yielded. Worth finding and trying. From my experience perhaps needs some age.

2019 vintage

A rather inexpensive Chard that seems to achieve an elusive goal. The wine is at once dry and crisp and also buttery. It is wonderful and worth finding. A good wine by my accounting. Apricot nut, vanilla bean, oak, tropical fruits on the palette.

2018 vintage

Bra

2019 vintage

Too much oak, perfumed by vanilla, no acidity at all, too sweet. Better after an hour of air and cooled down to about 12 degrees. Still not a good wine.

2019 vintage

Don’t like this wine

2019 vintage

Great oak and vanilla tones with a long smooth finish.

2018 vintage

This wine has it all - if you desire a butter, vanilla chardonnay with sophistification, this is it! Peach/mango cream, oak, smooth - well balanced - a lovely wine. Happy to have to still in the cellar since my supplier is out of stock!

2018 vintage

Always enjoy this smooth buttery caramel tasting wine - with a nice hint of oak. Love it with a flavourful trout dinner. Good on its own too!

2018 vintage

Straw color. Pear and vanilla nose. First taste was oak, more vanilla and butter. Soft fruity finish. Maybe peach. Definitely want more.

2018 vintage

I was surprised by this wine Vanilla, honey, buttered toast, and cooked apple with a sweeter tropical fruit of mango or guava even on the palate. Very full body. Smooth with a good structure.

2018 vintage

Really opens up with a little time. Rich and buttery

2018 vintage

Smooth and buttery

2018 vintage

Oily and oaky, but still quite good acidity. Good match for fish with sauce Hollandaise

2018 vintage

Buttery, smooth, great wine

2018 vintage

Way too oaky. Over powers food.

2018 vintage

Buttery

2018 vintage

Enjoyed, more oak flavor, just right.

2018 vintage

Pale-medium straw in color. Nice vanilla, butter on the nose. Low acidity with flavors of oak, vanilla, butter, and banana. Medium finish.

2018 vintage

Quite oaky and buttery. Enjoyable but certainly not subtle.

2018 vintage

This was very heavy on the oak and won't be for everyone but to be fair, it doesn't pretend to be anything other than an oak-bomb. Pretty good if you like more wood than fruit.

2018 vintage

Oak but not overly so. Strong vanilla tasting notes. Took me some time to identify but nutmeg on the finish. Not my favourite Chardonnay but for the price, a worthwhile wine to have in the cellar.

2018 vintage

Very oaky aromas. Very oaky on the palate, but you can see the appeal of this style. Not to heavy of a wine for all the oak that it shows.

2018 vintage

This is huge. Gold, viscous in appearance, A big nose of vanilla cream and not a lot else: perhaps a little spirit, some caramelised apple if I try really hard, and a pastry edge; after all this there's a note of confected fruits - candied peel and sultanas. A massive taste too. Roasted peaches and vanilla cream. Some baked apple and baked nectarines.A finish full of spirits, brandy-like. Does it need time or will it just stay the same then …

2018 vintage

The wine looks blonde colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like oak, pear and vanilla.

2014 vintage

This wine is very clear and light golden yellow. The nose smells of melted butter, cream and meringue. The flavors include butter, vanilla, and creme brulee. This is an over charged California Chardonnay. If you like Butter by JAM than you will like this as well.

2014 vintage

Color: light gold; nose: vanilla and oak; taste: medium-bodied rounded mouth feel, soft on palate, buttery taste, medium-length finish with apple-pear notes, mild tannins; overall: affable and pleasant, moderately-oaked chard, ready to drink as of Dec 2016, ordinary QPR ($15/bottle -- would be a bargain at under $12), would serve to company, should pair well with light hors d’ouevres (e.g., smoked salmon, brie). Will buy again!

2014 vintage

Wonderful with chicken. Smooth buttery taste.
