Vanilla, pear and a whiff of wintergreen make the nose intriguing, but after that it’s commercial mango and pineapple flavors with a pithy finish. A sweet, overpumped Chardonnay.——M.S.(3/1/2010)—— 82

Sweet and simple aromas of pear, apple and wood dust give this basic but respectable Chardonnay a solid nose. Apple, nectarine and mild sugary flavors are attractive in a familiar, ordinary way. And the feel and finish are round and regular. Perfectly good and acceptable in the category it plays in.——M.S.(5/1/2009)—— 85

A little sharp and green, with no signs of oak or weight. Aromas of passion fruit, nectarine and grass are almost like Sauvignon Blanc, while the palate deals pickled, green-infused flavors. Tropical but also pickled and sweaty.——M.S.(11/15/2008)—— 83

Plump and oaky, with a lot of butter running alongside apple and pear fruit. In many ways, it’s a common profile, one you see all the time from Chile. The body of the wine is round and fruity, while the oak is forward and adds a lot of cream and vanilla. Imported by Halby Marketing. ——M.S.(7/1/2006)—— 86
