Robert Mondavi Private Selection

The wine I chose for today's tasting is a 2008 Chardonnay, Robert Mondavi Private Selection.
I picked up a bottle at a local grocery store, Food Lion.
A pale yellow to straw colored wine, it is crisp, and definitely an oaked Chardonnay, from the California wine country.
There are apple and tropical fruit flavors, as well as spice undertones. It is a delight to enjoy chilled, on its own, or with h'ors d'oeuvres, or even a light chicken or fish dish.
