Detecting oak taste test

[Georgie]

Question for IK: For this oak detecting test of Robin Garr's she chose the Columbia Crest Grand Estates Chardonnay as the "oaky" tasting wine in the comparison. In an old post, "Best Chard under $15," IK wrote the following about that wine: "Columbia Crest, Grand Estate, Chardonnay. It is very light on the oaky doaky." I need some clarification, please. Is it that compared to other wines even this supposedly oaky wine has a light oak flavor? As Rudy in my class says to me at least five times a day, "I'm confused."
