I have always been a fan of the "Chardonnay Queen", and often defer to her opinion on Chardonnay, so this review is mostly hers.
"It has been many years since I last tasted Black Opal Chardonnay, This vintage has the wonderful "sunny" nose of melon and peach, and the color of bright straw, which are characteristics that I recall from previous vintages. The taste is citrusy apple, which lingers, giving the wine a more rounded mouth-feel. The lingering flavor plays well against most shellfish, and would pair well with chicken also."(Chardonnay Queen)
