This wine is a fabulous value. It is well oaked and shows tropical fruits, cocconut rum, and mangoes. The wine is rich but stays light. The balance is the key here. 89 pts.

FYI...

MudPuppy carries this wine.
It seems to be fairly accessable in Jersey.

i actually liked this and i pretty much hate chards.

I have a handfull of Chards I buy every year, this is one of them. Try the Alamos for an even better priced everyday (good to serve to non-wineo guests also) Chard from Catena.

Ohh, TCK does it again. This is a nice chard. What a find by TCK. Good job. For $14.00, this chard kills.

There are very few Chards that I enjoyed under $20.00. Very few. I find most under $20.00, barely drinkable.

This was very nice. I rated it an 87. Good job, TCK...

Excellent choice, one of my favorite chards and a great value for the quality.

If I want to wow someone with a great QPR white, this is the one I usually choose!

Finally picked a few of these up on sale ($14.98). All my 00 and 01 vintages are gone and some were starting show some fatigue. The 02 is very nice and vibrant with a great balance of acidity. I picked up all the flavors mentioned above with the addition of some vanilla and the oak, while well integrated lead to a spice component at mid palate. Great stuff and a QPR champ for sure.

This wine was the white wine of the month at the LCBO (all across Ontario, Canada) this past July.

I never did pick it up, but it does seem to be a good deal at around $20 Canadian.

Thanks for the heads up

I had a bottle of this over the weekend and agree that this has to deliver more bang for the buck than any Chardonnay I can think of. In my opinion, only the Landmark Overlook comes close to being it's equal from a QPR standpoint.
