Wiens Family Cellars Chardonnay Reserve

Either horrific bottle variance or this is over the hill. Either way, not good...

Stone fruit and vanilla on the nose, a good rich mouthful; apricot, peach and some coconut essence on the finish. Great easy drinking chardonnay

Peach nose with melon and tropical fruit. Quite fat lots of oak, alcoholic, sharp, bitter finish. The finish kills an otherwise enjoyable wine for me

In that sudo throw back Chardonnay style I am being told. There it is. Peachy and oaky and fat on the palate. Hard finish but yet there it is.

Pale greenish-yellow in color, mostly apples on the nose, but more citrus and peach flavors on the palate. Has a little oak (not distracting) and some of that flat, distracting bitterness common to many inexpensive Chardonnays on the finish, but also has a nice crispness about it. Fairly light, not much complexity. Pretty simple stuff, but not a bad effort in the $8 - $10 range. More of a food wine than a sipper. Not built for the long haul; …

A little hot on first opening, but settles down nicely. Perfume of minerals and crushed flowers. Notes of kiwi and sour apricots with light oak. Bone dry and high acidity with medium body. First time I've had their chardonnay but in my experience, McManis always delivers a good value

"Pear, melon & citrus with vanilla and oak."

Great nose. Pineapple with a little chalk minerality Light and wonderful for Texas weather. Easy clean & simple. Great appetizer wine.
