JoieFarm Chardonnay Un-Oaked (ii) 2016
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaCandied bananas on the nose and sour gummies on the palate mark this disjointed oak-free white, one that apparently sees too much inert stainless steel. A real fruit salad style that pokes out the side of your palate with pineapple, pear and powdery notes to a short finish. Youthful, awkward and in need of food to counter. Perhaps in time this will develop into something more approachable.Tasted: 19 April 2017Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:BC | $22.90 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
