Review from online: "Yellow straw color. Aromas and flavors of green apple and yellow apple, creme fraiche, lemon curd, and white flowers with a medium body and a medium finish with notes of vanilla glazed apple, hazelnut, and toast points. Simple but tasty, this does good Chardonnay things with just enough complexity."

Wine Folly Notes: "Chardonnay is noted for its incredible versatility and range of flavors. This diversity can be attributed to the range of winemaking techniques and climates it is subjected to."(https://winefolly.com/deep-dive/chardonnay/)
My review: It smells strongly of pineapple, but I'm not really getting much vanilla. The taste is very soft, without any real kick. Creamy. Kind of vegetabley? Eating it with pita chips made the vegetable flavor go away, and altogether simpler and sweeter. I preferred it with the pita chips as opposed to by itself. If it had a texture, it would be soft and squishy, like watered down play-doh.
