This is a nice unoaked Chardonnay from California. I've tried it a few times from different vintages, and for some reason I always get some oak and vanilla on the palate.
Showing citrus, lemons, red apples, pears, spices, light oak and light vanilla.
Medium-bodied with medium acidity.
Dry to off dry on the palate.
Nice length on the finish with almonds.
A good everyday wine and better with food. A good pool wine too.
12.5% alcohol by volume.
86 points.
$14.

Big ripe golden apple — sweet! Surrounded by honey suckle, nectarine, pear, and floral notes. Not too sophisticated — a bit too bold in its ripe apple sweetness — but it’s tasty and quaffable.

Yummy sipping wine - easy to drink before a meal or after. Light and fruity without feeling like I’m drinking fruit juice. Delish!

Smooth and buttery. Had to dig out of garbage to get the bottle so remember what to definitely buy again.
