This is very good value wine. For this price it is very nice summer style of Chardonnay, it is very lightly oaked and quite flowery and fruity. Nicely chilled in hot summer day it must be ideal for picnics just to wash down some food and refresh your palate. Side effect (some may welcome) is the fact that untrained drinkers will quickly get drunk due to alcohol content, which is very well masked:)
