The 2008 Chardonnay is barrel-fermented and aged for 4 months in new French oak with weekly batonnage. The result is an inexpensive Chardonnay with serious pretentions. Light gold-colored, it displays aromas of buttered popcorn and poached pear. Creamy textured and flavorful, this is an excellent value in Chardonnay for drinking over the next 2 years. The Vega Sindoa label, produced by Bodegas Nekeas in Navarra, has long been known for value.Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates from Spain, Dedham, MA; tel. (781) 461-5767

Banana, lemon curd and sawdust are the prime aromas on this oaky, creamy, candied style of Chard from Navarra. The palate is soft and modern, with decent core acidity propping up papaya, melon and green banana flavors. Resiny on the finish, but smooth.——M.S.(4/1/2010)—— 86
