2004 Tolosa Chardonnay Edna Ranch

Almost no smell. Sue says it tastes like a mouth full of sugar water. The other three dump out their glass and are on to the next wine as I write this. Interesting sleek mouth feel, but not much else. Muted, neutral flavors lead to a steely, syrupy finish. I taste no oak, which is refreshing in a California chardonnay. However, there's not enough here to get me excited. Retail $18, grade: B-.
