I did not like this wine at first, but it really grew on me. I agree that it is better if it is not too cold. Good value.

The 2010 Santa Carolina Chardonnay Reserva has nice aromas of pear and faint, fresh coffee bean. It has a yellowish color, resulting from being aged in French oak for 6 months, which also adds to the longer finish. My impression: NICE, 88 pts. Tasted Sept/11.

Lime, orange peel, vanilla, and biscuits on the nose. On the palate, the alcohol stands out a bit and it is a bit flabby. Excellent length though.

A tasty wine for under $10. If you're looking for an everyday Chardonnay that has seen some oak, this is go-to that won't hurt the wallet. Slightly warm, medium bodied, with tropical fruit and butterscotch notes.
