Looking for a workhorse, penny-pinching chardonnay? Here it is. Pear, citrus, and an over-generous whiff of toasted oak attack the nose. The mouth delivers citrus, stone fruits, toasted oak chips and cheap butter. A fair line of acidity and slightly chubby mouthfeel frame everything. While not an incredibly memorable wine, this bank account pleaser holds the promise of joyful, mindless, daily quaffing. 13.5% ABV
