This well-balanced wine has an appealing citric nose of lemon and orange mingled with oak, and is backed with flavors of apples and toasted vanilla. Sturdy flavors pop and then fizzle a little in the finish, but overall, an impressive selection from an area not known for wine. Good for Chardonnay drinkers who like a little zing with the cream.——S.K.(2/1/2007)—— 87
