2009 JM Cellars Chardonnay $34.99

Let me just say that I am not so happy about spending $35 bucks on a Columbia Valley Chardonnay. That being said, the wine was pretty clear with just a hint of hay-like color. On the nose the wine was showing well with some light tree fruit, a dabbing of floral and minerals as well. Finish was nice but nothing I would drop $35 on. Don't get me wrong, I did like the wine but if I'm going to throw down a few bucks for a Chardonnay, it better be from Burgundy! Not sure on the oak but there was a light butter/malo note on the finish as well.
