Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel: This stylish Chardonnay is mostly sourced from the winery’s estate vineyard in the Russian River Valley. Aged in both French and American oak, it’s bursting with melon, citrus and vanilla aromas. It’s dry, full-bodied with a round creamy texture, rich fruit, balanced acidity and well-integrated oak leading to a lengthy finish. My note: Lovely balance: buttery goodness without being too heavy. Aromas of apple, hazelnut and freshly baked bread. Warm and inviting. Food matches: pan-fried scallops, grilled salmon, pork tender-loin, bouillabaisse.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
E320us rated this wine as 90/100
Mary rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

I found this wine available for $10 and for that price it is and I say outstanding because you can’t really find a better California Chardonnay for that price point (retail between $10-$12/bottle). Very balanced in weight, this wine does a nice job integrating oak, vanilla, toast, with balanced lemon, spice and acidity. Seriously, for $10... Yes please!

Serve this wine between 55-60 degrees Farenheit or 12-16 degrees Celsius. Tip: If your bottle is at room temperature, put it in ice water for about 30 minutes or in the fridge for about three hours to chill it.
