Are you just like me sometimes craving a good chardonnay without all the heavy oak? If so, this is your bottle...The Kim Crawford 2005 Marlborough Unoaked Chardonnay was like the name suggests not fermented in oak but in stainless steel tanks. It did however go through malolactic fermentation to give it a soft creaminess. Displaying light straw color in the glass, you might as well be looking at a Sauvignon Blanc. On the nose citrus, apple and some butterscotch. Round tropical fruit and creamy citrus with firm acidity and lingering finish in the mouth. It all gives this Chardonnay a Sauvignon Blanc feel. Over all a very refreshing Chardonnay that feels light and crisp instead of heavy and over oaked. The price is also hard to beat, $13,99 (at sale) at my local grocery store. If not available in yours, you can find it at Wine-Searcher.com or WineZap.com from $12.99. Give this wine a try if you like unoaked chardonnay. I think you will find it very worthy for the price...
