This winery can be criticized for sugaring their wines, they can be criticized for adding non-Chardonnay varietals, if in fact that is what they do, but the bottom line is that this is one heck of a generously endowed, richly textured, satisfying white wine with enough Chardonnay character to make it a top seller. If more wines such as this were available, perhaps Americans would be spending more time in wine shops than in video stores. Drink it over the next year.
