Zesty lemon and clean miners notes. Really nice treatment that lets the core fruit come through without being heavy with oak or buttery notes. Not revelatory but a nice approach to Chardonnay for a warm day. Surprised the vintage has held up so well.

Got for $9 on sale. A bit on the dry side but not too much. Maybe a tiny note of oak with fruit. A solid choice, good but not quite great.

With Spaghetti alle Vongole. Good, but should have gone with the Sauvignon Blanc! Solid value.

Oak notes, slightly creamy but not at all buttery. Light color [35% on oak with 4% New French - 8 months]. Vanilla-luscious but a but simple. Nice mouthful and acidity. Digging it!

NZ chardonnay is rather interesting one! Still showing lots of tropical and stone fruit character while retaining little buttery chardonnay.

Good value. Fresh and citrusy. Refreshing and easy to drink.
