This lively Chardonnay starts with lemon, lime and pear on the nose, followed by a terrific combination of crisp citrus fruit and oaky, white fruit roundness. Elegant but fun, it’s a perfect food wine. Think spicy ethnic cuisine, grilled seafood, salads.

Excelsior 2007 Shiraz (Robertson)

A nose of fennel, mocha and plum, followed by a burst of earthy smoked meat, blackberry and cherry flavors, give this wine a masculine edge. Not overly complex but certainly enticing, the wine is both rich and sensible, and will pair well with BBQ, lamb and spiced meat dishes.

Excelsior 2006 Chardonnay (Robertson)
- Best Buy
- $10
Mouthwatering apple and a lively acidity make this a Chardonnay that will appeal to vinophiles who like a crisper white wine. But for the tartness and clean edge there’s a weight and creaminess on the palate that rounds this wine out. A good, accessible Chardonnay at a very good price, it could become a favorite weekday wine.
