The Wishing Tree 2005 Unoaked Chardonnay

  • Best Buy
  1. $10
This Chard is a good value again this vintage. It’s crisp and clean, with lemon and grapefruit flavors and a dry, minerally feel. Delicate floral, grass and talc aromas start things off. It’s nice to see a Chardonnay at this price that doesn’t taste like tropical fruit and buttered toast. Imported by USA Wine West.  — D.T.  (4/1/2006)

The Wishing Tree 2007 Unoaked Chardonnay

  1. $12
Plump and fleshy for an unoaked style, with tangerine, lemon and passion fruit notes that finish clean and refreshing. A good summer wine at a fair price. Imported by USA Wine West.  — J.C.  (6/1/2008)

“Unoaked” oftentimes means “light-bodied,” but this Chard’s no lightweight. It’s actually pretty sizeable, all things considered, with red apple and white stone fruit flavors, and a dry mouthfeel. Its tangy, zippy finish makes the wine. 250 cases produced.  — D.T.  (11/15/2005)

A medium-bodied Shiraz that shows ample freshness and spice, not the jammy character often associated with this price point. Best Buy.  — J.C.  (6/1/2007)

One of Larchet’s own brands, this wine is soft and broad in texture, with pear and citrus flavors that finish apple-y fresh.  — J.C.  (6/1/2007)

The Wishing Tree 2008 Unoaked Chardonnay

  1. $11
Fresh and lively, with lemon, fig and tangerine scents that take on a lemon tone on the palate. Crisp, shortish finish. Try with tuna steaks. Drink up.  — W.E.  (6/1/2010)

The Wishing Tree 2007 Shiraz

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $11
A solid effort in the everyday category, with plummy fruit marked by touches of rhubarb and asphalt. The wine’s best feature may be its plump, tender texture; it does turn tart on the finish. Drink now.  — J.C.  (2/1/2010)
