The 2009 CHARDONNAY “UNOAKED” is a laid back little wine intended for early consumption. It has little depth or finish, but it is quite flavorful and fruity and completely charming. Granting its limitations—not much concentration or finish—it is likely to be an easygoing crowd pleaser and it is at a rather attractive price point. If you don’t insist on giving this too many expectations it is not intended to meet, it can be quite enticing for the money. It will drop off from peak (i.e., now) fairly quickly, I suspect. Drink it young. Drink now-2012. Importer: Allied Importers, Long Island City, N.Y.; tel: (718) 472-1155.
