The fragrance of this wine is like a summer fruit basket with aromas of pineapple, lemon and apples. It is surprisingly dry with a light tropical fruit flavor with pineapple taking the lead. The wine has a good acidity; however it leaves you with a very short finish.

The Fish Eye Chardonnay starts of with pleasant aromas of pears and peaches but, the body of the wine is very light with subtle flavors of vanilla, butter and citrus. The wine is priced nicely but forgettable in our opinion.

We would pass on this wine but the price point might attract a few consumers. The wine has an overpowering lemon taste with a touch of peach.

The Kirkland Signature Chardonnay is part of Costco's push into its own branded low cost wine. The wine starts with flavors of vanilla and citrus but the flavors quickly fade into a light bodied wine with an unpleasant tart finish. Overall the wine is plain and with little flavor.
