Wishing Tree Chardonnay Unoaked 2011

Pale yellow. Pungent aromas of peach and melon are underscored by a note of lemon zest. Light in body but fleshy, with deep pit fruit and melon flavors and a late kick of tarragon. The finish repeats the lemon zest note and is refreshingly tight and brisk.

Bright and tangy, with a lemony edge to the green apple flavors, hinting at star fruit as the finish lingers. Drink now.

Fresh and lively, with lemon, fig and tangerine scents that take on a lemon tone on the palate. Crisp, shortish finish. Try with tuna steaks. Drink up.

Plump and fleshy for an unoaked style, with tangerine, lemon and passion fruit notes that finish clean and refreshing. A good summer wine at a fair price.

The 2007 Unoaked Chardonnay is medium straw-colored with a spicy nose of green apple and white peach. Crisp and refreshing on the palate, this everyday Chardonnay will drink well for 1ndash;2 years. It is an excellent value.

The Wishing Tree Chardonnay will leave you wishing for more! Lemony, clean and nuanced, with bright Granny Smith apple flavors, this white deserves high praise for delivering flavorful Chardonnay without the heavy mask of oak.

Light yellow. Inviting aromas of tangerine and melon are perked up by lemon zest and white flowers. Light-bodied citrus and melon flavors gain weight and power with air without showing any apparent fat. Fleshy and smooth on the back end, leaving behind melon and peach flavors.
