This wine has more of a yellow tint than I would expect from an unoaked Chardonnay. The nose is clean, though. Brilliant aromas of flowers, pears, peaches and apples come through with nary a trace of wood aging. The palate is rich and full, with fruit flavors dominating. Acidity is fresh and zippy, and nearly razor sharp. The fruit lasts on the finish and the wine is a perfect match for seafood, white sauce pasta or chicken.

Very, very good for $4.99 at TJ’s! Apples and pears on the nose. Crisp, clean well rounded palette with a fairly long fruity finish. This unoaked Chardonnay was quite the nice surprise!
