Kim Crawford 'Unoaked' Chardonnay 2009 (New Zealand)

This wine was a recommendation from a wine shop owner I frequent in Missouri. I was looking for something different and had tried other 'unoaked' Chardonnays but never one from New Zealand and I liked it!

In the glass it is straw in color. On the nose citrus and floral notes and on the palate, soft with a creamy texture and delicate pear, peach and citrus flavors. Appealing for its light touch and details of spice.

A double review..WOW! I have also had the 2010 Kim Crawford 'unoaked" Chardonnay and is was as enjoyable as the 2009, perhaps a touch of butterscotch the 2009 did not exhibit but just as nice and round with an oak free finish.
