Chardonnay just isn’t my most favorite. But I wanted to give the oaked flavor a try. Very buttery! I can see why this is a standard is most restaurants.

Light gold in color. On the nose, popcorn, butter, cedar no fruits at all. Dry on the palate with butter, lime and grapefruit. Fermented in small oak barrels. 13.5% alcohol by volume. To me this was terrible. I couldn't take more than two sips. Oh well...

Great with chicken. Seems like it's a high alcohol content. Love the buzz!

Quite nice with salmon cakes. Pleasant nose, mellow flavors, mild oak and clean finish.

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.

Had a 2013 tucked away in my cellar, wanted to see how this would stand up to age, opened on 5/6/18. The first Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay was released in 1983. Golden yellow color, some gentle oak and very ripe stone fruit aromas. Ripe apple and apricot fruits on the palate with vanilla and some buttery oak on the finish. Aged very well, to me stands up to wine in $25 range. Good value for a wine to entertain a crowd that won't break the bank.
