Review:

Mirth means happiness and this wine is just that. 100% stainless steel fermented, this is a clean, vibrant Chardonnay. Flavors of golden delicious apples, Meyer lemon and just a hint of ripe tropical fruit marry together beautifully while a balanced acidity gives it a bright clean finish.

Pair this refreshing Chardonnay with a Chanterelle herb frittata, lemon roasted chicken, or a mango avocado and smoked salmon salad (yum!).

Mirth Chardonnay from Owen Roe satisfies cravings for a big, juicy hot weather Chardonnay. With the Mirth Chardonnay, Owen Roe continues its tradition of offering over-the-top quaffers at marvelous prices.

LA Times Wine of the Week, Sept 3, 2009:

A project of Oregon's Owen Roe Winery and offshoot Corvidae winery, Mirth Chardonnay is a rare commodity -- a moderately priced Chardonnay that drinks beautifully. The 2008 vintage, from Washington grapes, is clean and crisp and not over-oaked. Notes of apple and citrus coupled with a bright acidity give this less-than-$20 Chardonnay an appealing freshness and elegance.

It's a great Indian summer basic, easy drinking and perfect with pretty much anything light, from omelets and frittatas to seafood pasta or risotto dishes, seared sea scallops and fried calamari.
