Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

From the deep colour of sunshine to the warm aromas leaping out of the glass this wine makes me long for hot sunny days. Rich, tropical, and buttery aromas coupled with warming flavours of toast and honey, toffee, pineapple, vanilla and nuts. Full-bodied with medium balanced acidity. A good go-to Chardonnay under the $20 ceiling.
Pair with roasted turkey with stuffing. Enjoy over the next 3 years.
Tasted: March 2015
