Spierhead Chardonnay 2010

East Kelowna Slopes, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA north south blend that grabs your attention on the nose. Love the vibrant, green apple notes and minerality on the nose before the French oak and the toasted nutty characters begin to overwhelm the fruit. I like this wine but it remains component-like on the palate and needs some time to pull itself together into a more cohesive mix of flavours. That said erring on the side of sophistication is always good. Try this with some brie for best results.Tasted: 25 September 2011Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
