Decent Chardonnay I guess. Buttery aftertaste, fruity aroma and initial taste.

The first Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay was released in 1983. Pale lemon color. Some oak and stone fruit aromas. Peach and tropical fruits on the palate with vanilla and buttery oak on the finish. Good value for a wine to entertain a crowd that won't break the bank. Consistent quality. Tasting Sample. Previously Tasted ‘15 & ‘16 side by side, not much difference. Consistent.

Not what I think of when thinking of the typical chard. Tart, fizzy and tangy. Green apples and pears with the apples winning the tongue battle.

This got better as the weekend went on, starting on Friday quite sour & one dimensional, and finishing on Sunday as a very well rounded and pleasant wine. Would’ve definitely benefited from decanting. Quite tropical, with mango, Jonagold apple and a chalky mouthfeel. Probably wouldn’t buy again, but pleasing nonetheless.
