Liquidity Chardonnay 2012
Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaI love where this wine is right now. I tasted it a few months back and it was good, but just a few more months along and the wine was showing fantastically. The 2012 is bears the old scenic label, watch for a newer, fresher look in 2013. A lovely nutty maturity, with light eraser and ample mineral notes. Bright lemon on the palate, with gentle hazelnut, fragrant dough, apple and Anjou pear. A partial malolactic fermentation builds mouthfeel while keeping a bright line of acid and wild ferment adds an earthy/herbal interest. The result is a wine that has arrived together and will continue to hold and deepen over the next couple of years if you can find it.
