Reasonably solid and inviting on the nose, with clean fruit and a touch of oak. The palate is spritzy and jumpy, with sweet apple, pear and melon flavors. A totally average, easy-drinking wine, but in the end how basic do we want to go with our Chardonnay?——M.S.(7/1/2010)—— 83

Light and tropical, with buttercup aromas and a touch of citrus. The palate is plump and slightly oily, but with good acidity. Apple, mango and banana flavors are fruity and sweet, but overall the wine holds it together. Drink right away. ——M.S.(12/1/2009)—— 85
