I’ll come right out and say it: as much as I don’t like Chardonnay, I’m an even harsher critic of the unoaked style … bland, boring, uneventful … but wait, this Coyote’s Run version actually has interesting character. Aromas of peach, pear, pineapple and some floral notes seem to lurk about, while on the palate there’s a bitterness that plays nicely with that white and yellow fruit helping to balance out the sweetness to be. The finish is round and fuller than expected. Price: $14.95 – Rating: ****
