In a day and age when Chardonnay can be too ripe or too high in acidity, here is a wine that somehow gets it right even with its own flirtations with extra ripeness. Its aromas of green apples fit nicely with hints of creamy oak and sweet blossoms, and its firm, quietly fruity flavors are both likeable and well-suited for use with broiled fish or grilled shrimp.
