It has a tight nose (not smelling a lot a going on in the glass.) Picking up some cola, prunes as well as some unexpected tropical fruit notes. The first sip yields some minerality and green bell pepper. It mellows out a bit after the first few sips, but then it gets very watery. It lacks flavor and complexity. I am not thrilled with this at all.
I give this wine a 2 out of 5 stars

$5 Redwood Creek
2009 Chardonnay
California
Stater Bros.
This one has a nice melon fragrance... but the taste gives way to extreme creaminess, bordering on buttery. Tons of pears, gala apples, bananas and maybe a touch of pineapple upside down cake. Very rich, fruity and creamy. If you like a succulent Chardonnay, this one's for you!
