Wine Review: This wine could fool you into believing it is unoaked, but it is just lightly oaked and that really allows its terrific fruit to shine. This wine opens with a very pleasant apple like bouquet. On the palate, this medium bodied wine is very well balanced, is really easy to drink, and nicely displays its apricot and cantaloupe like flavors. The finish is dry and nicely extended. This wine does a lot of things right and it will also be a very good food wine. Cheers - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Bright clear yellow color. Ripe yellow apple, pear, citrus and mineral aromas. Medium body, silky texture with citrus zest on finish.

Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Chardonnay.
