"We tend toward California Chardonnay and wanted to expand our horizons. What an excellent find this is!"
"I absolutely loved this Chardonnay. It’s light and sweet and right up my alley. Amazing!"
"Not as oakey as I prefer but enjoyable."
"Always amazing wines, and great value!"
"Nice bottle for everyday sipping. Fairly dry, with a good finish"
"Really enjoyed this one. Fresh and clean with apple and pear up front, a little citrus, and a light mineral note on the finish. Not heavy or overly buttery, which we liked, but it still had enough texture to feel like Chardonnay. It opened up a little with food and showed more fruit. Not a super complex wine, but very balanced, very drinkable, and at $15 felt like a strong value. For comparison, we prefer this to the La Crema. We’d buy it again (but when we can get a solid discount, not full price."
"Yes, I liked this one, but I can’t provide any details."
