Dave talks about why Chardonnay is different from other White wine grapes in this price range. Mainly, Chardonnay can be simple or it can be complicated. Chardonnay can go thru varing percentages of several winemaking processes that will greatly affect the overall taste and texture. There is the oak program, or maybe no oak or something inbetween. There is malolactc fermentatation, on lees, and the diiferences in grape selction. No 2 wineries do the exact same process, which makes Chardonnay complicated.
