PnP, chilled. Some apple and citrus on the nose. This medium bodied wine showed lots of very juicy acidity, but nowhere near enough fruit -- apple, lemon and lime -- to balance. A touch of minerality, and a slight bitterness on the finish. Should hold for a year or two.

TASTING THE COOKING WINE! Because in this house, we taste all the wine.
Unscrewed and poured.
Wine is a light straw color. Definitely not what I would have expected from a mass market Chardonnay.
On nose, get powdered candy, melon, and generalized citrus notes. Not particularly complex but nothing "off" for sure.
On palate, wine is sound. Refreshing acidity, roundness on the mid-palate (malolactic?) and a surprisingly long, soft finish. Don't get much flavor evolution here.
This is far better than a $13 bottle of wine has any right to be. Talk about punching above your weight. My ratings are absolute, not price adjusted, so it's got a low-ish score. But boy do I like this wine! I'd drink this at a ball game all day long.
