Wine: Wine Society Vineyard Selection Chardonnay 2007

Multi-region, $9

I never thought I'd say this, but there's too much alcohol in this wine.  14% is big for a red, let alone a white, and it overpowers the fruit, making it taste a little rough.  Flavours otherwise good, but hard to taste.

Wine: Evans & Tate Margaret River Chardonnay 2006

Margaret River, $21  James Halliday 92 pts

I quite like it.  Subtle fruit (citrus, melon) and even subtler oak.  I like a bit more flavour, so I can get chardies that I like better for this price.
