Really solidly structured California Chardonnay for around $15. The malo is done well, not cloying, with a fun breezy peach/apricot profile and a little acid bite on the end.

Apricot, sweet corn, husk. A surprising sense of balance at this price point.

Very solid chardonnay. It's single vineyard from Santa Barbara. No oak although it does go through malolactic fermentation. There is a good, medium body with decent acid and pineapple flavors. This goes on sale for around 11 dollars which is a complete steal.

Love this playful peach / pineapple acidity thing that's going on here.

Carmel butterscotch, rich mouth feel, balanced acid. A little green.
