Thirty Bench Small Lot Chardonnay 2006

Beamsville Bench, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, CanadaOpen leesy, garlic, spicy, floral nose with green apple skin, lemon peel and nutty notes. Fresh, crisp, round, delicate style with green apple, garlic, nectarine skin, lemon, grassy, mineral, butterscotch, leesy, bready flavours. Good finesse and balance, just a bit light on extract with an austere, tight edge. Definitely needs some fish or poultry excel.Tasted: 09 January 2009Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
