Quails' Gate Stewart Family Reserve Chardonnay 2002

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaBig buttery, smoky oak nose with vanilla, nut and honey aromas. Fat, round, soft entry with buttery, vanilla, hazelnut, spicy lees and honey flavours. Quite warm and oaky with some balance but lacks fruit and freshness overall. There is segment of the market still drinking this style chardonnay but we are looking for more vibrant fruit and acidity.Tasted: 05 March 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
