This is pretty good for a cheap Chardonnay. The aroma reminds me of Venice for some reason. I can't put my finger on it, maybe it smells like a canal (in a good way). The flavor has some oak but the overriding flavor I get, even in the finish, is minerals. It tastes clean and it tastes like a Chardonnay, and that's about the best you can do at this price in a Chardonnay so I recommend it.
