KWV has been on a streak, making quality wines that would make any cooperative jealous. This Chardonnay is simple and straightforward, but in a delightfully delicious way. Sweet yellow fruits entice the nose, while the medium-bodied palate is balanced with good acidity, ripe tropical fruit flavors and just the right amount of oak treatment. Not a wine to dwell on; just pop the cork and enjoy. ——M.D.(11/15/2006)—— 86

On the heavy side, with baked apple and spiced orange flavors that finish soft. Imported by 57 Main Street Wine Co. ——J.C.(11/15/2005)—— 83

A simple, easy-drinker offering mild citrus and tropical fruit on a light frame. The soft palate shows a melony quality, in both flavor and texture. On the sweet side, this should have mainstream appeal. ——M.M.(3/1/2004)—— 83
