Pear and pineapple, citrus, hint of oak; easygoing, good flavors, moderate length.

Generic Chardonnay but still pretty good, with oily, nutty, tropical aromas followed by a zesty, acidic palate that loads up on apple and citrusy orange-like flavors. Shows good length and clarity on the finish, and overall it outperforms the winery’s so-called “reserva” Chard from the same year. ——M.S.(12/1/2010)—— 86
