Thin, slightly unpleasant, and disappointing are other words that come to mind.
I had the 2006 Columbia Crest Grand Estates Chardonnay and it was an excellent wine for the price. Robert Parker gave it 90 points and it was one of the best values in white wine that year. I didn't have the 2007, so I don't know what happened with that vintage, but the 2008 left me flat.
The only good thing about this wine is that I got it on sale for $7 at Trader Joe's.
This is normally a very consistent winery, so I'm inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt. However, the wine wasn't corked and it wasn't oxideized, so I'm at a loss to explain what happened here.
"C" only because it's not very expensive. If you have $10 or less to spend, I'm sure you could do worse. If you have more than $10 to spend, look elsewhere.
