Review (from Wine Mag): "This is a rich style of Chardonnay that shows pear and apple aromas, with vanilla and butter flavors. The palate offers a good balance of ripeness and natural acidity. It's medium in body and smoothly textured without feeling too soft. 88 Points - Jim Gordon"
My Review: We let this wine chill in the refrigerator before drinking it, and I did not have it with any food. The main smells I got when I first smelled the wine were apple and pear. When I tasted the wine, the pear kind of went away and I was mainly getting a tart, green apple flavor. I also got a faint oaky taste. Because of the tartness, I thought the wine tasted acidic, and I also think it has a nice sweetness and light body. This was my first time having chardonnay, and I really enjoyed the tastes and feel of this wine and could definitely see myself buying more in the future. I think that boxed wines get a bad reputation and after trying this wine, I don't think that's justified, because this is on par if not better than similarly priced bottled wines I've had.
