Sweet and simple, this Chard tastes like peach, pineapple and pear juice with a couple spoons of white sugar.——S.H.(11/15/2007)—— 82

Here’s a good, everyday Chardonnay. It has ripe tropical fruit and vanilla flavors, with a creamy mouthfeel and hints of charry oak. It proves that California can produce value wines of quality and interest in huge quantities. ——S.H.(7/1/2006)—— 84

Thin and simple, but clean. You get modest peach flavors with oak shadings.——S.H.(2/1/2005)—— 83

Plenty of peach and apple flavors and it’s pretty dry. On the down side is a roughness and it’s also way too oaky, with flavors of wood sap, spice and vanilla dominating the finish.——S.H.(6/1/2003)—— 84
