This would convert any ABC drinker. I always thought of Chardonnay as being a very yellow wine, but this was really translucent. I'm not sure how I would describe the smell other than savory. Melon was the dominant fruit flavor, but there was definitely a lot of lemon in there too. It also had very strong mineral flavors. I loved the texture. Very smooth, I would describe it as fatty, but not buttery I don't know how to rate wines on a 100 point system, but this is well above 90 points for me.
