Wine Review: We are finding more and more very good unoaked Chardonnay these days. This is one we discovered on Long Island. This wine has a mild bouquet. On the palate, this wine is lively and flavorful. This is creamy and surprisingly rich for an unoaked Chard. The finish is clean, refreshing and dry. Enjoy this wine with food, it is a nice find. – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Steel fermented, this bright wine is filled with the flavor of ripe pear, kiwi and white cherries. With a full, generous mouth feel, this wine exhibits the perfect balance of fruit and acidity, leading to a clean, crisp and flinty finish with definite mineral qualities. A truly food friendly wine.

Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Chardonnay.
