You can’t beat the low price and overall good cheer of this fresh Italian Chardonnay in a screwtop bottle. The golden-colored wine reveals a soft and smooth texture accented by pretty aromas of stone fruit, honey and almond nut. ——M.L.(7/1/2010)—— 87

A low-acid, fruit-forward Chardonnay for $10? What's not to like? Honeyed pear and dried spices upfront, a slightly viscous mouthfeel and lots of ripe pear, spicy pepper and dried clove flavors make this a solid value.——J.C.(12/31/2004)—— 87

Inviting aromas of butter, almond and citrus open into a rich, thickly textured wine studded with peach, almond butter and citrus pith. The slightly bitter notes echo through the finish, providing a welcome sense of balance to round mouthfeel and fatty flavors.——J.C.(7/1/2003)—— 87
