Shop Review: A very nice value Chardonnay that comfortably over-delivers vs. its modest price tag. No oak here, just bushels of clean, crisp Chardonnay apple and stone fruit with a hint of caramalized pineapple. Juicy and clean, this is a mid-weight white that'sjust perfect for parties or weeknight sipping. (Vintage Wine Cellar)

My Review: This wine has an almost clear color with a slight golden hue. The first scent I picked up on the nose was a semi-sweet apple. The mid taste was sweeter than I expected and the finish was clean with no bitterness. For the cheap price, you could not taste the alcohol at all.

I did not try this wine with food, but I would recommend it as a dessert wine.
