89 points Wine Spectator
This shows terrific purity to the lemon, tangerine and lime peel flavors, which are bright and vibrant, very refreshing, reverberating on the long, lingering finish. Drink now through 2015. 200 cases imported. (Web-2011)

K&L Notes
The 2008 vintage in Central Otago was a nearly ideal growing season, with a warm spring and less wind than usual that allowed excellent flowering conditions. The rest of the season created wines of good concenttation, varietal character and fine acidity. The bouquet offers tropical notes, along with a nutty character, spiced apple, pear and lemon citrus highlights.These all come together on the palate with lively acidity and mineral accents. This really fine Chardonnay is a steal for just $10 bottle. Just 30 cases available. (Jim Chanteloup K&L New Zealand Wine Buyer)
