Starvedog Lane No Oak Chardonnay 2004

Three Starvedog Lane wines arrived last week. These wines are from Adelaide Hills (South Australia). The Chardonnay 2004 is a pale green straw color. The aromas are restrained essences of pear, apple and nectarine, with a tropical slant. There is an additional citrus edge on the palate. The closure is a screw cap. For $15 (Nashville), this is a very clean refreshing Chardonnay, worthy of including in a mixed case of white wines.
