WB Rating: 89

 
Alcohol by volume: 13.5%
Price at time of purchase: $12.99 (Costco)
 
Type: Chardonnay
Principal varietal(s): Chardonnay

This is an excellent, elegant, balanced Chardonnay that displays plenty of spicy citrus and apricot fruit in the nose and mouth and a clean toasty finish, but has no feeling of heaviness and is not over-oaked. Nicely balanced acidity puts one in mind of a good white Burgundy more than a powerhouse Santa Barbara fruitbomb. Outstanding buy at under $15. - WB team 2006-04-08
