...4. Gloria Ferrar 2006 Carneros - had some off flavors that made my wife say, "Hated it."
3. Macrostie 2006 Carneros - at $16.99 this was the most expensive with the rest all going for $12.99 - a liitle oily at first, when it warmed up it was more balanced with fruit and tasted ok.
2. Chateau Michelle Indian Wells 2006 Columbia Valley, Washington - very nice and balanced but lighter, with hints of cinnamon and fruit.
1. Acacia 2006 Carneros - the winner from the first round, by default, does it again. Not a great chardonnay, but still our favorite of them all. Buttery, fruity, pretty well balanced. Maybe it will improve with a few months of bottle ageing.
None of these are as good as they've been at this price range in other years.
No Sterling or Souverain available.
I'm tempted to splurge and pay $20 for the Ferrari Carano to have a really good house chardonnay for the summer. Or maybe just keep some on hand for entertaining.
Life's too short to drink cheap wine, so they say...
