Reminds me of Novellum, without the oak treatment. Muted nose. Fresh fruit profile on the palate. Hints of rocks and stones on the finish. For $11.99, this is a buy by the truckload.

A delightfully unoaked Chardonnay, the way I typically like them, but with a distinctively tropical influence that suggests Roussanne but is actually a 4% Viognier topnote. it is crisp and refreshing on a warm summer afternoon; I would pop this one again.

Nice and funky. Fresh minerality, Heavy apple, nectarine, banana, honey and slight butter notes. I am a bit confused cause I still get some of the typical oak aged characteristics although it is an unoaked wine. Typically not a fan of Cali chards but this was pretty impressive for the price.
