Kim Crawford 1998 Unoaked Chardonnay (Marlborough)
- Best Buy
- $15
A natural beauty with quality fruit that shines. Opens with lovely peach and almond/hazelnut aromas. Has an elegant, engaging texture (without oak). Solid fruit and butterscotch flavors grace the palate; the long, intense, pleasing finish stays with you. Kudos, Kim.

Kim Crawford 1999 Unoaked Chardonnay (Marlborough)
- $15
If you are turned off by heavily oaked Chards, this is one to consider. It’s loaded with light tropical-fruit aromas and flavors, along with a nice hint of peach. It’s a little lower in acidity and verve than the excellent ’98, but it’s solid, and blossoms in the glass. A very practical, easy-to-drink wine.

Kim Crawford 2000 Unoaked Chardonnay (Marlborough)
- $17
Ripe, lightly buttered pears are tinged with a light muskiness and married to tropical fruits like guava in this soft, easy-to-drink wine that tastes like Chardonnay, without the overlay of oak to which consumers are so accustomed.

Kim Crawford 2008 Unoaked Chardonnay
- $17
This is a plump, fruit-driven Chardonnay loaded with apple and citrus. The wine’s medium body and crisp, clean finish should prove versatile with a wide array of foods.

Kim Crawford 2002 Unoaked Chardonnay (Marlborough)
- $18
Undeniably well made, but I’ve yet to see the attraction of unoaked Chardonnay from anywhere outside of Chablis or the Maconnais. This attempt is more successful than most—it’s a simple, fruit-cocktail quaffer with decent mouthfeel and adequate concentration.

Kim Crawford 2009 Unoaked Chardonnay (Marlborough)
- $17
The Kim Crawford wines typically display plenty of fruit character, and this example is no exception. Bright pineapple flavors are fairly intense, turning crisp and lemony on the finish. Bold, if somewhat simple. Drink now.

Kim Crawford 2005 Unoaked Chardonnay (Marlborough)
- $17
A reliably fruit-filled offering, the 2005 version offers honeyed apple, melon and pear flavors carried by a well-rounded and slightly viscous wine. On the soft side, with a pithy note to the finish.
