50th Parallel Estate Chardonnay 2014

Lake Country, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSlightly softer edition from winemaker Grant Stanley, but the wine is cleaner this year. Look for an inviting nutty, leesy, baked apple, spicy nose. The palate is round and a touch buttery with more ripe apple/pear fruit and flecks of peaches. The finish is full with a touch of sweetness (honey) that moderates the acid, spice and oak. Ready to drink and would be perfect with Dungeness crab or lobster.Tasted: 09 August 2016Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
