Overall Experience
A good wine overall. Pretty standard for a California chardonnay with a profile that you would anticipate. This was not a real complex wine and the higher oak flavor threw off the balance a bit. Would I drink it again? If it were being poured sure. Would I go out of my way to find it on a menu, probably not.
