Not a great quality-to-price ratio, but still a fresh Chardonnay with citrus, green apple and tropical-fruit. Tight and lean because it’s unoaked, with white pepper on the finish. Good in a scaled-back manner.——M.S.(10/1/2004)—— 86

Pale straw in color, this is a crisp, clean wine with bright aromas of grapefruit and quince, accented by chalky notes. Juicy and mouthwatering on the palate, this simple yet pleasant wine should be consumed over the next six months. —C.S.——C.S.(4/1/2002)—— 86
