The Crossings 2006 Unoaked Chardonnay

January 17, 2008 - wine

This is a delightfully light and crisp New Zealand chardonnay. It starts with notes of pear and lemon, and develops into a nutty buttery almost olive-like finish.

This would probably pair well with some sharp or full-flavored cheeses. If you like your chardonnays to be more fruity and less oaky, this is probably a good choice to try. I wonder if this were oaked, how heavy and buttery it would have turned out?
