A terrific white wine for your Thanksgiving dinner

Here’s a 90 point Parker rated chard from Australia, available at K&L Wine Merchants for just $13.99 Here’s the description, straight from the K&L site:

90 points Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate: “The 2007 Chardonnay Wild Ferment spent seven months in oak with occasional lees stirring. It is medium straw-colored with toasty, tropical aromas. Medium-bodied, the wine has a creamy texture, ripe fruit flavors, good balance, and a lengthy finish. Drink this tasty effort over the next 1-2 years.” (08/08)

90 points Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar: “Pale yellow. Impressively complex nose displays leesy apple, pear, peach and melon aromas complicated by subtle toasted grain and truffle qualities. This smells like a white Burgundy, and a fancy one at that. Orchard fruit flavors are deep in flavor but not overly rich, and there’s a cool mineral aspect to the back end to go with firm citrus bite and a lingering anise quality. An outstanding bargain, with impressive complexity for the price.” (Sep/Oct 08)
