Online Review:
Unlike the other Charles Shaw wines I’ve tasted (Nouveau and the Cabernet), I’m unable to recommend the Chardonnay. It’s not downright offensive, really, but besides a musty fruit and alcohol slurry, it lacks character and taste. It’s not very fun to drink and neither does it have that buttery flavor typical of most cheap Chardonnay. It’s better chilled, certainly, but I’d leave it for nights when the better stuff (like Franzia, in this case) has run out.

Personal Review:
Light and crisp on the nose. I would like to note that I was a little stuffed up at the time. Smell of apples. Very acidic and crisp taste. The apple comes out in the taste as well. Not very sweet but not considered dry. Very short after palate.
