Overall not a bad wine at all; not great cold though. I usually prefer chardonnay cold, but this one is much better a little warmer, not quite room temp, but only a little cool. Good once it has warmed up and breathed a bit, when it's cold it smells of melon and a little grapefruity and is unusually sweet and sour all at once. A little like a slightly dry reisling with a slightly sour finish. When it is warmer, it's more mellow and has an apple tone to it and a nice dry finish.
