Tasting - "The Crossings Unoaked Chardonnay"

Name: The Crossings, Unoaked Chardonnay
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: Marlborough
Country: New Zealand
Year: 2008
Price: $15
Winery Review: With no oak to mask its pure fruit flavors, this fresh and elegant Chardonnay displays ripe stone-fruit characters and hints of tropical fruit, balanced with a crisp citrus finish.   

My review: This wine was dry yet fruity, which is not a common combination for me.  It smelled like citrus, and had a very fresh taste.  I paired this with some leftover pasta.  I honestly do not remember the type of pasta because it's what my sister ordered and left in my fridge, but the pasta was very cheesy.  This wine went well with it; it was dry enough that it did not take away from or mask what I was eating, but actually helped me taste some of the seasonings in the food better.
