A white wine value is the delicious, tank-fermented and aged 1999 Viura (70%)/Chardonnay (30%). While not complex, it offers fresh, lively, citrusy fruit, light to medium body, admirable purity, and a refreshing, dry finish exhibiting notions of grapefruit and citrus. Moreover, readers should be able to purchase it for less than $5 a bottle. Enjoy it over the next 12 months as these wines do not hold up.
