Our take

What we make of this bottle

Across ten stores we checked in September 2026, the lowest observed price was $14.99 and the highest $19.99. The wine is a Chardonnay, a white the guides say turns toward citrus and apple in cool conditions and toward stone fruit in ripe ones.

The grape aside, and for all that its average so far runs to 5 out of five, this is a barely-rated wine. The number of shopper ratings behind that average is 1.

Grape guideChardonnay

The grape name gives context. It is not a review of this bottle.

Getting to know Chardonnay.

Chardonnay is a white grape used for still and sparkling wine. It can be made without oak for a lighter shape or fermented and aged in oak for more weight.

Category guide

What to expect in the glass

Official category guides place citrus and apple at the cooler end and stone fruit or tropical fruit in riper examples. Oak and time on the spent yeast can add toast, spice and a rounder texture, but those features are winemaking choices rather than a guarantee.
