I think that Chardonnay is the perfect wine for people to start getting into wine, but unfortunately many people don't realize that there are many ways to 'brew' a chardonnay, even the chablis style. I for one hate buttery tasting and feeling versions, and have not always favored every style of oaked and unoaked.

However, this wine totally charmed me and I had to give it a rating of 9; I'll reserve 10 for when they come out with something a little more classic -- I mean, I know that they have something else in their bag of tricks that they'll release down the line, that is if they already have and I don't know about it.

It's actually hard for me to write this review, as I drank most of the bottle last night, but I can tell you that the flavors consisted of a wonderful level of citrus, apple, lychee fruit and pear.

This wine can probably pair well with about anything, especially red meats if you are a white wine aficianado. This is another wine that will make you interested in trying everything else that the producer puts out.
