  This appellation white is light in tart acidity, with a taste of sour lemon that persists on the palate and provides freshness and bite. Concentrated flavors of pineapple ride a creamy texture along a medium-bodied frame.

  Decadent swirls of petrol and oak inform the entry of this young wine, golden in color and viscous on the palate. Coconut flakes season a core of ripe pear compote and cinnamon before a streak of sizzling acidity tempers the richness of the wine's initial impression, ultimately…

  Good price for a Chardonnay this dry and acidic, yet rich. The upfront impression is all about tartness and minerality, yet there are ripe apricot, papaya and lime fruit flavors. Don't drink it too cold, as it gains traction and interest as it warms in the glass.

  Very rich and opulent. You can taste how the grapes had a long season to grow enormously ripe, delivering flavors of pineapples, pears and golden mangoes. Yet the cool vintage also preserved vital acidity. A delightful young Chardonnay for drinking now with upscale fare.

  Will satisfy Chard fans who like ripe fruit and plenty of oak. Shows pineapple marmalade, orange fruit cake, vanilla, buttered popcorn and smoky oak flavors, finished with brisk acidity.

  Buena Vista has a good reputation for this bottling, and the great '07 vintage has resulted in another fine Chardonnay, at a good price. Racy in acidity, the wine shows mineral-infused citrus fruit, apple and honeysuckle notes that finish with a touch of off-dry sweetness.

  Pretty good, with ripe pineapple flavors brightened with crisp acidity. But the oak is too strong, coating the fruit with a heavy plaster of butterscotch and smoky caramel.
