The 1998 Viura/Chardonnay (75% of the former and 25% of the latter) is an excellent value. This light-bodied, fragrant, vibrant wine possesses a creamy texture, excellent purity and crispness, and a fruit-driven personality. While it will not make old bones, it will provide immense pleasure over the next 6-9 months. Three-thousand cases were imported. Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates From Spain, Dedham, MA; tel.
