KWV has been on a streak, making quality wines that would make any cooperative jealous. This Chardonnay is simple and straightforward, but in a delightfully delicious way. Sweet yellow fruits entice the nose, while the medium-bodied palate is balanced with good acidity, ripe tropical fruit flavors and just the right amount of oak treatment. Not a wine to dwell on; just pop the cork and enjoy. ——M.D.(11/15/2006)—— 86
