So, I decided to try something different and picked up this bottle of Chardonnay by David Bruce.  I am pretty much over the vanilla and oak style prevalent in California, but I said what the hell.

This wine is a lovely yellow in color with a smooth silkyness feel on your tongue.  The weight is a just little heavy and you immediately get vanilla with a rounding mouth of oak.  However, you can detect just a little citrus which makes this wine more approachable to many palates.
