Poplar Grove Chardonnay 2009
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaClosed tight mineral grape fruit light lees and orange blossoms on the nose. The palate is similar with a lean nutty resiny texture with guava, leesy, buttery, grapefruit rind and green apple skin flavours. The finish is touch dry, warm and bitter. A decent mid-weight chardonnay for simply prepared chicken or pork dishes.Tasted: 05 June 2011Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $22.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
