    Hogue 2005 Chardonnay (Columbia Valley (WA))

    There is nothing especially wrong here, but it is such a predictable, monolithic, corporate wine that it's hard to get very excited. Clean fruit and soft, buttery flavors, along with vanilla and banana, seem calculated rather than crafted. Safe and solid.
