Poplar Grove Reserve Chardonnay 2010

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaMuch better style in the reserve with its butter, light lees, pineapple fruit and underlying richness. Love the baked apple entry and the French oak, both of which are still interacting. Dry long buttery tarte tatin notes with nutty, oily pineapple fruit and ripe red apples. This wine needs another three years to settle down and work with the likes of halibut and fresh fruit salsa, abalone or lobster.Tasted: 05 June 2011Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
