What reviewers say
“Nog steeds op die personeels BBQ en ik besluit tot een (hopelijke) upgrade naar een houtgerijpe witte voor bij de gebakken zalm en kip. Een Amerikaanse maar uit 2019(?!). Zitten we hier oude voorraad op te drinken?”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
With a pale 24-carat gold color and inviting tropical fruit aromas, this Chardonnay is irresistible. Rich pineapple melds with citrus and green apple flavors, and hints of creamy vanilla and spice. It’s creamy and full-bodied on the palate, perfectly balanced by bright acidity and a crisp, refreshing finish.

The calibrated figure is built from 733 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 758 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead. 2,310 other whites from the United States form the cohort it is ranked inside.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Three Thieves Chardonnay lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against White · United States (2,311 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 733.
