Wines from Quintay

Looking for good value Chiliean Wines?  I found a few, let's go over them, shall we?

Chardonnay, 2009 - $14
Nose: pears, little citrus notes, and smells pretty crisp
Palate: Nice body with fresh pear flavors, and a touch of minerals and lemon zest.

As you should know by now, I do not like oak in my Chardonnays.  My basic description of most Chardonnays is as follows - "take a popsicle stick, dip it into melted butter and eat it.  Gross, right?"  This Chardonnay does have some oakiness to it, but you can tell it is older oak, oak that has had most of its tannins sucked out by other wines.
