Black Swift Vineyards Oak Street Vineyard Chardonnay 2014
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOak Street Vineyard is a cool, south-east facing site on the Golden Mile Bench appellation that gathers the warm morning sun and escapes the baking heat of the afternoon. You sense that from the acidity that greets you right off the top, and freshness that continues throughout. The fruit is a mix of clones 53, 76 and 96, adding more complexity to the palate. The wine is aged in new French puncheons for 14 months. The nose is a mix of aromatic pears, orange spice, melon and apples. The palate is similar with more red apple and citrus and a touch of oaky bitterness. Fine elegance here with a dash of smoke. A little more refinement, less new oak and this wine is poised to soar.Tasted: 15 February 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $39.99 | 750ml | winery direct |
