Too much vanilla. Overpowers what seems to be interesting under it.

Green apple, pineapple dominate the palette. Mineral at the mid-point and subtle oak on the finish. Style is fruit forward than big buttery and round oak bomb California Chardonnays. A little more acidic in the finish than I prefer. Better with food than a sipper. Costco $13.99

Color of gold with a tiny touch of green hue. Nose of ripe fruit like pineapple, lemon spice, naval orange, and indeed more lemons. Taste follows the nose with addition of roasted nuts, oak, ripe banana, a bit mineral, and sweetness. A bit too watery but overall good clean and quality Chardonnay.
