Pale yellow with green tinges, this wine has a fresh herb and spring flower-accented nose. Its zesty acidity, light body and moderate alcohol will surprise many a drinker who refuses Chardonnay, expecting it to be cloying and oaky. Juicy and quaffable, this is ready to drink now through 2015, though you should enjoy its youthful vibrancy soon! Perfect for drinking on the patio on a hot summer day or for nuanced seafood dishes.
