  Very pleasant to drink.
  
  Opened with guests who went on to drink only red that evening; only one short glass consumed first night.
  
  Flavors hung in over a couple of days, although I don't have much to add to other posters' descriptions. Acid seemed to diminish somewhat over the next couple of days, but varietal flavors remained.
  
  Second night bottle was slightly chilled (ice bucket for 15 minutes max) instead of right out of the refrigerator.
  
  Better than expected, although I may open it the day before and wait to chill just before drinking....
  
  Would not hesitate to buy and enjoy again.

  Classic Carneros style: Rich, buttery, spicy apple, vanilla, and oak, offset with decent acidity to provide freshness. Finishes solid. Stereotypical CA Chardonnay. Nice value at $13 and great as an everyday drinker.

  Light straw color, medium body, nose of apple, stones, oak and yeast, good balance and short finish. Good everyday Chardonnay.

  A well-made classic Carneros Chardonnay of a medium to lighter style. Fresh, tasty but a bit same as many other from the region.
