Drank a few nites ago. Citrus on the nose, as well as some vanilla. Pale yellow color. Medium to full bodied. A bit oaky, nice mouthfeel, good fruit level. Otherwise nothing special, but a good, inexpensive wine for parties

It’s been quite a few years since I’ve had this label. Displays less “presence and impression” than I remember from years ago. Comes across as pretty middling and underwhelming. I think in their effort “scale things back”, the winemaker missed something. Unremarkable.

Nose of pineapple, charred oak, butter and wet stone. Moderate malo and low acid. Palate of tropical fruits, smoke and lemon with a moderate charred oak and lemon finish. Tasted and scored blind

One of my current favorite Chardonnay wines. Read that Wine Enthusiast rated it 91 pts in May 2024 so that is my rating!

Color: light straw Nose: Butterscotch, raisin Palate: strong butter notes and a heavy oak influence prevent the single vineyard from speaking for itself not many fruit or tropical notes, well balanced acidity Finish: Moderate

Totally fine for $13 at Costco. A bit astringent on opening but softens up after a day.
