Mainstream Chardonnay has been a mainstay for this dependable and recently-merged-with-Southcorp family enterprise. The orange and mild tropical fruit bouquet has just a kiss of oak, and some mild spice notes enter on the palate. The even mouthfeel and just slightly tangy finish keep this lightly sweet and sour, round—but not mushy—wine right on target. ——M.M.(6/1/2001)—— 86
