At big corporate wineries the marketing department decides how much Chardonnay they can sell and the winemakers have to seek out enough grapes from whatever source to satisfy that number. Very crisp citrus style featuring flavors of lemon and fresh pineapple. Lacks oak presence for today's market. It's a good food companion, but won't be winning any medals. Dry but not austere.
Fruit lasts all the way to the very lengthy finish.
Great with Asian or Cajun cuisines. Berry and crushed rose. Match with tuna or prime rib. A Merlot with some backbone. Very ripe, bold black cherry flavor with green olive undertones.
