Big burst of wood at first approach but swirl it a bit and let this blow of as this Chardonnay will come together after a few minutes and it is a great value for the dollar. Definitely worth playing with and integrating into a meal. Peach and pear dominate the fruit component, less tropical and more subtle fruits make this profile a great pairing for grilled Halibut and a savory polenta, porcini mushroom rissottos or any kind of prawn dish. This Chard has a rich mouth feel, and good weight and is unexpected at under 15 Bucks!
