Mission Hill S.L.C. Chardonnay 2011
Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaIs this the year the Select Lot Collection Chardonnay gets its due topping the Reserve and nudging Perpetua. The attack is fresh and light offering lemon, floral, honey, vanilla notes with flecks of apricot. The American oak, a third new and one year old is beautifully integrated into the wine allowing the citrus, apple, floral, spicy lees flavours to leak through. Expect this to get better in the bottle over the next two years.Tasted: 23 May 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:QC | $27.50 | 750ml | |
