“This bright, lively Chardonnay, marked by summer fruit flavors and a long finish, will be a good choice for summer sipping. It does taste a bit sweet, something that may well please many consumers, but that you should be aware of before buying it.”

“Kumeu River’s entry-level Chardonnay boasts plenty of tropical fruit and citrus flavors, all rolled into a fresh, crisp wine. It’s a simple fruit cocktail, but with well-judged balance and zesty, food-friendly acids.”
