Reviewed June 12, 2010

Score: 87/100

Tasting Note: VC: Citrus-, peach-, apple-, toast and mango-scented Chardonnay with a lovely round and ripe texture on the palate. Mid-palate acids come in to bring a fine balance. It’s fairly full bodied and has a long fruity/oaky finish. My note: Good value for this toasty, buttery Chardonnay with green apple notes. Full-bodied and supple.

Food matches: grilled chicken with a wild mushroom sauce

More pairings: bread: potato, Oka, sauce: butter, beurre blanc, sauce: wine reduction: wine-based marinade, turkey, turmeric, veal: breaded cutlets. More pairings...
