Ripe, tropical fruit heavy nose. Balanced, creamy palate, and crisp finish with moderate allspice and nutmeg from time spent in American oak. Viognier adds florals and texture. Recommend picking it up for a weekday white if you can find it under $20

Complex butter cream oak bomb when it’s warm. Past it’s prime? Who knows? It’s yummy and delivers.

V13. Nice. Clean, Apple and gravel bouquet. Melon fruit with a crisp limestone finish. Very enjoyable food wine.

Supple butter and oak with forestry honeysuckle notes. Not too woody, not too sharp. God bless Mendocino. Great value California Chardonnay without the bits you don't want. As Mendocino goes though, this is unfocused, week, and watery. And you're so much better off withAVA anyway, this is hard to argue for. And a little mass produced.
