The 2006 Chardonnay exhibits toasty oak and poached pear aromas. Medium-bodied, on the palate the wine is smoothly textured with nectarine and white peach making a presence. Lean in style, with crisp acidity, it has a moderately long finish. Xanadu’s white wines from the cool-climate Margaret River GI in Western Australia showed considerably better than their reds.

This features plenty of lush fruit—apples and citrus—and palate weight, but it stays on the restrained side, kept in check by crisp acids and a slightly toasty framework. Drink now–2011.——J.C.(6/1/2008)—— 89
