N: tastes like 2 week old stale popcorn. And it's just as dry. It has accents of strawberry stems and dog hair. The more you aerate it the worsw it gets. Feeling buzzed after just one glass. 8.9 (post aeration 8.2)
J: smells like a chardonnay but tastes similar to a sav blanc. Slight creamy aftertaste but fruity profile. 8.7

A surprise! This is a decent, inexpensive wine. Started out tart pear, apple, oak, and acid - lots of acid. But it opened up really nicely. Recommend pouring or decanting this for an hour. Surprising fora Chardonnay, but it needs it. Also this is a bit better not too cold, almost room temperature. It mellows out and is soft, silky, creamy, and a touch of butter. Honey and oak and still a touch of acid. The nose starts out tart apple and then gradually mellows to apple and caramel. Once it mellows, it's subtle and tasty, with a nice and slightly tart finish.

Savory and stone fruit forward. Not bad.

Creamy, affordable, resonant. Sticks with you, but subtly.
