This is a sweet, oaky Chardonnay, made to appeal to the modern palate. It has sugary pineapple, green apple, pear, buttered toast and vanilla custard flavors, fortunately brightened with zesty acidity.——S.H.(12/15/2011)—— 85

Doesn’t seem to have much, if any, oak on it, but it doesn’t matter, because the underlying wine is so good, at such a nice price. Crisp and steely, it shows rich flavors of pineapples, apricots, tangerines and pears. ——S.H.(7/1/2010)—— 87
