Michael David Winery
Lodi Chardonnay
Banana cream pie, pineapple, tropical notes. Oak is not overdone. Still young, finish will improve over time.

Jul 20th, 2015Nice, but short, butter start with tart finish almost leading back into the creamy bit.

Jan 28th, 2017Agree with the poster below. Nice green apple start with a little oak and butter to finish. So good middle of the road blend. Disagree with 90 rating by some raters (including LCBO), but decent medium bodied Chard in the $24 range.

Sep 30th, 2016Not buttery for a change. Dry. Lemon nose with a hint of grapefruit. Clean. Hey I'm in St. John. You could serve me Welch s grape juice I'll like. I admit it. I'm weak. I'm not strong like @Ron R Ron

Apr 28th, 2016I am not a fan of Chardonnay but I had to give it a whirl since 1-it was Michael David and I haven't had a single wine from his vineyards which I disliked and 2-because it was $11.99 and if I hated it at least I tried it! That's $3 a glass (if you consider a bottle to have 4 glasses) and definitely not a waste of money. I thought it was crisp and smooth on the palate, not much oak flavor but there was a hint. It was very lightly flavored with fruit, the bottle says tropical fruits, but I didn't get much of that. It was light and not dry or too oaky for me. Definitely a nice Chardonnay!
