Its intriguing aroma gives way to rich mango with subtle notes with a long, full finish."<br /> I agree. Very nice and light with a creamy note that would be nice on a warm spring day with grilled chicken.<br /><br />#2 St. Supery Sauvignon Blanc-2007, napa valley- $23.00 retail<br /> "a show stopper, with ruby grapefruit, guava, and a hint of clover...focused lemon, lime and grapefruit"<br /> crisp, not as grapefruity as reviewed by the winery. i like this wine!<br /><br />#3 Alamos Chardonnay 2008, Argentina $16.99 retail<br /> "tropical fruit, ripe citrus, apple and pear with vanilla"<br /> lightly toasted- nice chardonnay, easy drinking, alittle oak in the finish, nice.<br /><br />#4 Sonoma Creek Chardonnay2005 $16.99 retail<br /> "peaches, apple and vanilla notes"<br /> ewww.. this is not my favorite. too much oak.<br /><br />Well that's all for now.
