Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: March 7, January 4, December 16 and November 20.

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:
This wine is truly our flagship Chardonnay. The 2010 vintage was hot, and resulted in exceptional ripeness. This wine was fermented and aged in 100% French Oak barriques. A year in barrel was followed by a six months in stainless steel before bottling. While exhibiting the typical character of the vineyard, this wine does reflect the warm vintage. The characteristic aromas of citrus and ripe apple are wrapped with hints of stone fruit and tropical fruit. The French oak and detectable minerality complete the beautifully layered nose. On the palate, the wine generously fulfills the promise of the nose, delivering ripe citrus and apple, with nuances of peach, and pineapple flavors. Great structure, with a rich, full, and slightly creamy mouth feel. A wonderful, lingering finish completes the experience!

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.
