This is just an ok chardonnay. It's quite oakey (which i reckon is good, if you're into that), with flavors of pineapple and maybe a bit of pear on the tongue. It seems like the balance of the acidity in the finish was just kinda off... I guess it was ok, and if you can catch it on sale at safeway for $11, not a bad choice for that price.
