Great buttery chardonnay, light on oak and beautiful nose/finish. Wish I had bought more of this at the winery.

Very enjoyable Chardonnay, buttery taste and very light tones of acidity. Delicious!

Medium yellow color. Citrus and buttery oak nose. Full-bodied palate features apple, citrus, and loads of oak. Medium-long finish. Admittedly I was looking for an oaky Chardonnay when this was recommended, but nonetheless I was expecting a little more balance – especially for $25. Overall: a slightly-above average oak-driven California Chardonnay.

Oak is somewhat heavy in this chard; but impressive body and full fruit flavors; I am a sucker for this kind of wine

California Chardonnay, oaky, no minerality, fruit a bit overpowered by oak.

Apple and pear. Very good chard, although I expected a bit more for the price.

I tasted this at room temperature. The nose had a massive amount of buttered oak. There was also a little apple and citrus, and a some floral notes. The palate was rich and buttery, but it did have some pretty good citrus, apple, and spice. Not a style of chardonnay I like very much, but it wasn't horrible.
