Fresh nose, pear, oak, and a smidge of cream. I really liked this wine from the first smell. We couldn’t tell the difference between the Target box we like and the Director’s Cut. Drank with roasted chicken and vegetables.

The wine looks straw colored. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. It tastes like lemon and apple. The body is light/medium and crisp. The wine finishes short. The wine has medium acidity.

On the nose there's smoke, pineapple, ripe red apple & caramel ~ The palate is full bodied & creamy yet with an acidic grip with flavors of lemon, pineapple, smoked meat & apple sauce ~ Nicely balanced & great length

Farven er flot lysgul, duften er fyldt med lyse frugter og lidt fad måske. Smagen er dejlig blød og rund, virker lidt fed i det men stadig frisk og sprød. Lidt toner af citrus og fad anes. OK

Un nez moyennement intense de fleurs, de bois légèrement épicé. L'acidité est moyenne, le vin est assez corsé au palais, on a des notes de vanille qui nous viennent, c'est assez long mais on ne se relèverait pas la nuit non plus !

Pretty typical lower-priced California Chardonnay. Not bad, but nothing special.

Tropical fruit, melon, lemon on nose. On palate, the wine has a sticky richness without being sweet. Fruit is balanced with nice acidity and perfume. Honey on finish, fairly long.

Moins équilibré que le superbe 2009. Acidité trop présente pour un Chardonnay de ce type.
