comments:

VC: This delicious chardonnay won a Gold Medal at the 2006 Concours Catad’Or Grand Hyatt Wine Awards. It displays peach, pear and pineapple aromas and flavors, with tasty ginger spice notes leading to a citrus finish touched by a hint of oak. Another fantastic value from the cool Casablanca Valley region. My note: A great value chardonnay with ample oak and aromas of ripe apples and pears.
