Haywire The Bub Bottle Fermented and Aged 2014
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaImpressive as ever, the 2014 vintage of The Bub once again unites pinot noir and chardonnay from cooler sites in Summerland and Oliver for this crisp, lean and racy fizz. Lightly salted nuts and lemon pith leads. The palate races with green apple, salted lemon, dry toast and ample tight stoniness. Lively acidity through to the crisp, vibrating finish, this is a lean bub that you should stock up on and pour liberally, especially with oysters. In youth and tight as a fist, but will continue to develop and relax with bottle age.Tasted: 29 February 2016Tasted by: Prices:BC | $29.90 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine stores |
