The Oak "The Reserve" (Santa Barbara) Chardonnay 2014

Gentle golden hue with aromas of vanilla pudding and baby powder, with sweet melon

Palate--Nicely presented classic Chardonnay with a somewhat creamy texture, bright acidity (love that) honey dew melon, a kiss of oak(?) and a pleasant but fleeting finish.

This 5 year old Santa Barbara Chard is nicely done and is holding well at 5 years old but should be drunk now.  I paid $7 for this, yes $7 on a "power buy) in NH liquor store and this is a sensational bargain.  Lists at $17 which would be a good price point for this nice Chard.  I saw come "community reviews" giving it 3 1/2 stars out of five which is a bush league assessment so raise a glass!
