Tried the 2014 vintage. Golden yellow color with stone fruit and oily aromas with pungent spice. The palate shows basic stone fruits with citrus tang, but was overshadowed by oak and heavy oily spice. The wine was out of balance. I have now tasted the 12, 13 and now the 2014 and they are consistently unpleasant. At $20, there are a ton of better Chardonnays out there at comparable prices. Pass. Tasting Sample.
