  Smelled acidic, with hints of pineapple and apricot. Strong fruit on the pallet, but the finish is clean with the taste of exotic fruit. Paired well with Italian pasta dish, and grilled port the next night.

  Overall Opinion: A light bodied Chardonnay wine. Very enjoyable. I took a chance on this through a mail order wine club, and I am very pleased with the result of my membership. I would certainly recommend this for anyone starting their cellar. A great wine at an even greater price.
