I love this bottling and vintage. The oak treatment is perfect for the fruit. Golden in color. The nose is clean with peach and slight ginger. Creamy texture. On the palate, apples, peaches and just a bit sweetness. Deep and complex. Long finish. Great acidity. Worked great with food but was delicious on its own. Very impressive.
Plenty of value here for under $10. First, the label tells you this has a vanilla and butterscotch oak profile with apple and pear fruit notes. Both of those are pretty spot on. The wine is deep golden in color. The nose is red apples, with vanilla and slight butterscotch. On the palate, this is simple and to the point. Plenty of oaky notes; vanilla and some butterscotch with a bit of apples. This is made for easy drinking and at that price, just fine for casual drinking or at a party.
Light silvery gold in color. The nose is light with slight lemony notes. Good acidity on the palate. Solid lemon/citrus notes. Good finish. A nice lighter styled Chardonnay that will work well at the dinner table. At Under $20, this is a nice value.
Light gold in color with slight green. On the nose, there is grapefruit and slight lumber. Also some spice. On the palate, there is a tart acidity which is very nice. Grapefruit and citrus notes. Long finish. Really a quality Chardonnay for under $20, its hard to beat that value.
Gold in color. A bit deeper, probably saw some new oak. The nose is dusty with some lemon and spice. On the palate, this is a very rich wine. Very good, if to me, un-Chablis-like. Lemon candy, almost sweet. Round. Enough acidity but no more. Nice finish.
Excellent wine. Yellow green in color. The nose has a nice vanilla cream quality to it. Also some lemons. On the palate, this is leaner with tart lemon acidity. That said, it still has a strong presence. Long finish. Blind, I though CA but if it turned out to be Burgundy, I would not have been surprised.
