Happy Camper 2008 Chardonnay

Best Buy
Online Exclusive

Price $9

Fruity, rich and satisfying. Shows a mélange of pineapple, pear and peach flavors, with creamy vanilla and spice notes, brightened with crisp acidity. Could be a tad drier. — S.H. (12/31/2009)

points

With citrus and floral flavors in addition to Chard’s usual pears and apples, this wine might be confused for a Pinot Grigio or even a leaner style of Viognier. However you slice it, it’s a dry, crisp, easy sipper, and a good buy at this price. — S.H. (9/1/2008)

Happy Camper 2010 Merlot

Although it’s a little slender and simple, it’s good for the price and offers pleasant cherry and spice flavors that finish dry. — S.H. (9/1/2012)

Happy Camper 2005 Chardonnay

Online Exclusive

Price $9

Not the richest wine in history, but fruity enough and dry, this basic Chardonnay has a tease of citrus fruit and vanilla cream. It’s perfectly okay for that next big party where no one’s over-critical. — S.H. (3/1/2007)

Happy Camper 2004 Merlot

Online Exclusive

Price $9

Decent price for a nice Merlot. It’s a little light on cherry-berry fruit, but balanced and clean, with polished tannins and crisp acidity to cut through beef, veal and pork. — S.H. (3/1/2007)

Happy Camper 2011 Chardonnay

Online Exclusive

Price $9

The main thing to know about this Chardonnay is that it’s overtly sweet. The fruit is good, the acidity is clean, but it’s anything but dry. — S.H. (9/1/2012)

Happy Camper 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon

Online Exclusive

Price $9

This jammy, slightly sweet Cabernet has enough fruity flavors to satisfy. It brims with fruitstand blackberries, cherries and plums, and has a soft texture. — S.H. (12/31/2009)
