What's exceptional here is how well-balanced this wine is for the price. Crisp fruit comes through, but doesn't become tart. The oak comes through, but almost exclusively as vanilla. There are no off-notes. Very easy to drink while still bringing a complex array of flavors. — 10 years ago

Definitely above average for the very low price. Pretty mellow; oak is present but very mild. Easy to drink. Miss the vanilla and slightly brighter taste of KJ. There is no cheap Chardonnay funk to this one at first, but a little more further down the glass. Aftertaste brings out the alcohol. Benefits noticeably from pouring through an aerator. — 10 years ago

Very mild and easy to drink. Good, crisp summer wine. Pretty much impossible to find in our area, other than at Cafe 30A. — 10 years ago
