Winery review: Orepeza wrote, "Banana, peach, apple in the mouth. Nice balance, decent acidty, well done oakiness. This is by no means great wine, but for a budget CA chard it is very hard to find better. (The poster admits to a particular fondness for the Edna Valley AVA's chardonnay which accounts for an extra point or 2)"  (11/26/2011)  — 88

My review: I thought this wine was not very good. I've had alot of good Chardonnay's and this wine was just bitter to me. It hahd a myriad of fruity flavors and a strong bitter finish. I don't know if it was the food pairing that I had with this wine that made it not enjoyable, but I would not recommend this version of Chardonnay to anyone. 

I tasted this with a 14 oz. steak, grilled chicken, and asparagus.
