Decent Chardonnay with some character. Nice bright light golden color. The nose has got green apple and pear along with a sent of white flowers and some creamy texture coming through. The palate is 2-3 notches into the creamy, toasty side of things but not overwhelming with those crisp orchard flavors present in the mix. The background acidity is not quite enough for me and could be a sign of better days gone by for this vintage and wine so, Drink it up.

Pale golden color. Nose of light toast, pear. Early palate has minerals, pear, green apple. A hint of butter comes through in the mouthfeel, but it stays tight. Finishes crisp, with high acidity.

Amazing Aussie Tasting- 38 Wines (Binny's, Schaumburg, IL (NW Suburbs - Chicago)): Good value Chard at $14. Nose of pear, peach, butter and spice. Good acidity in the mouth, with flavors of pineapple and lychee fruit, and creamy butter. Nice complexity for the price. A consistent winner.

Very green flavors without much fruit to compensate, pretty disappointing wine experience.
