A pleasant moderate nose with a balanced (surprisingly) off-dry palate. Dominant notes include orange peel, mango, honeydew melon, and citrus blossom. This wine is medium-light bodied with moderate acidity and a long candied orange finish. Enjoy with General Tso Chicken. Tasted Oct 2016. @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca

Tropical and unoaked, this Chardonnay packs a lot of flavour into every sip. Designed to please those who appreciate the Chardonnay varietal without masking its essence with wood. A crowd pleaser featuring tropical fruit, ripe pineapple and candied lemon and crisp green apple. @jonsteeves rated 89/100 - tasted Oct 2016 - www.bespoketastings.ca

Lori Kilmartin WSET3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Crisp and flavourful. Very fruit forward citrus aromas on the nose; lemon, grapefruit and lime. The acidity is tamped down a bit by the secondary malolactic fermentation. Melon, peach and peach flavours with a long smooth finish. I'm a fan of Kim Crawford wines and this one doesn't disappoint!

Craig Kuziemsky rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Aromas of pineapple and melon with some butterscotch and lime on the palate. An easy drinking wine although I found the flavors were a bit on the light side.

Jane Staples rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

If you've ever wondered what an unoaked Chardonnay tastes like, this is a good one to try, from the inimitable Kim Crawford. Citrus lime, pineapple and tropical guava show on nose and palate, along with a hint of butterscotch. The mouthfeel is squeaky extra-dry, with good weight and creaminess, even without the use of oak. Lingering rich finish.
