14.2% alcohol. I've gotten a nice buzz of this wine. It's nice. Not too fruity. A little on the acidic side, but well balanced overall. We drank this with some corn chowder soup, which paired well.

Un-oaked Chardonnay is SO different. It's much more fruity and acidic than what you would think of an oaked chard. We had this wine with potato-corn chowder, which was a big mistake. It would have gone much better with a salad and grilled scallops! Next time...

Still I am glad to have tried this wine, because it was a very good price for a normally more expensive wine. Get to a PA State store and stock up while it's $19!
