This is the new vintage of Fresh & Easy's Hilltown Chardonnay, reviewed here. This latest release follows in the fruit-forward, unoaked style of the earlier vintage. The flavor profile definitely leans more toward tropical fruit (pineapple, guava) than the earlier iteration, and on the whole the wine is a bit richer and creamier in the mouth.
This is, once again, a nice, approachable white, and still a pretty good deal for the price.

I totally agree. This a very nice Chardonnay for the price. Nice buttery finish on the palate. A very nice wine from Hilltown Vineyards.
