Laughing Stock Vineyards Chardonnay 2004

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaCitrus rind, spicy lees, nutty, vanilla, buttery, waxy aromas mark the somewhat Burgundian nose streaked with garlic and green apple skin. This is an elegant, fresh style with some oily textures and spicy lees, vanilla, creamy, baked pear, mineral, grapefruit rind flavours. The finish mixes butter and bitter apple skin. Well balanced overall. A nice touch of pinot gris is added for zip. 270 cases made.Tasted: 19 November 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
