Oaky and undistinguished. You can find many California Chardonnays that taste better, have more finesse and structure, and cost less, Chalone and Sonoma-Cutrer among them. For a similar price point, I would choose Chateau Montelena over this every time.

Tasting Notes
The 2013 Nickel & Nickel Medina Vineyard Chardonnay offers delicate aromas of flowers and spice, with flavors of Muscat, pear and lemon rind expressed on the palate. The lemon-lime acidity is refreshing, along with hints of stone and spicy oak. The fruit notes are forward upon entry with a nice balance that becomes dry on the finish, beckoning for another sip.
