$18.99, excellent value Chardonnay that has wonderful balance of Apple and pear notes matched by toasty oak and subtle butter notes

Wow. Lots of purity of fruit. Very polished. Totally new world. Very well done and especially so for the price. A nice surprise.

Nice Chardonnay! Tastes a little young to me and has a very dry, quick finish. Not a ton of fruit either.

Good CA chard. Label says: lemon, pear, apple, light floral, finish with toast, balanced acidity and minerality. Ideal with shellfish, cream sauces, roasted chicken, cheeses, and zesty vegetable dishes. Elissa, Paul, and I had with Whole Red Snapper at home. Good pair.
