If you recall, the 2005 Charles Shaw Chardonnay was an award winner. This vintage will not be.
The nose was just...... not there, except for a bit of oak. Same with the body, which surprisingly was just a hair off-dry. The finish was the worst part, somewhat bitter with a rather unpleasant oak.
All that said, there is quite a bit of bottle variation among Charles Shaw wines, and not every year can be a good year. It was only USD 2.99 at the Trader Joe's in Maple Grove, MN, so it would be a passable cheap cooking wine.
