Critic Reviews (1)
The oak has been reduced somewhat in the 2011 vintage, though it is still the dominant aroma, you can also detect...

Very rich chardonnay. Full body, beautiful colour. The way chardonnay should be. It is an easy version for any consumer to understand the chardonnay and I always recommend it for people who don't know this type of wine. It has a nice amount of oak, richness, good flavours or butterscotch, vanilla, fruity notes (lemon, apple, even some tropical) . And good long finish. Terrific wine for the price.
Gold in colour with medium+ intense nose.
A good 2nd bottle to have on hand when you don't want to open something expensive.
Positives: A simple Chard that’s easy to drink featuring medium oak with a mild toasting, lemon meringue, smoky apple cinnamon, peaches & cream corn, and buttery popcorn. Medium+ body with good acidity an average length.
Negatives: None
Interesting Notes: LCBO puts this wine on sale a couple times a year, which makes it worth buying.
Drink now on its own or pair it with chicken Alfredo.
Tasted: 7 July 2013

Buttered popcorn, some tropical notes, then the standard oaky overlay. Kind of 'old style' but served as a 'typical' for our tasting group class.
I wouldn't buy this....I don't enjoy the style anymore.
