Nice, smooth oakey Chardonnay, no bad aftertaste.

Pleasant bright lemony flavors matched with traditional Chardonnay oaks and cream. Fair price at Costco will be looking for more.

I really like this Chardonnay - not very oaky - some of my companions don't like it (don't like Chardonnay) - but I think it's nice - vanilla and pineapples

Some Carneros Chards are pretty oaky and heavy. After letting this one warm up for 15 minutes, I was amazed at how smooth and light (for a Chard) it was. Had it with salmon and an Asian salad, and it paired really well. Highly recommended especially if available at $25 or less.

Well made Chardonnay. Hints of smoke and butterscotch on the bouquet. Crisp green apple and creamy mouthfeel, with a hint of oak and caramel.
