Burrowing Owl Chardonnay 2014

Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaIt's nice to be tasting current release 2014 whites in the midst of the 2015 releases. Even though this is a full bodied, richer style, it has an underpinning of lemon acidity which many of the 2015s are missing. Here white peach, ripe pear and lemon curd are imbued with an abundance of toasty oak, finishing somewhat abruptly, though with a vanilla sweetness to counter. Disjointed and a bit clumsy, this is best poured alongside creamy butter chicken.Tasted: 04 November 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
