Tinhorn Creek Oldfield Reserve Chardonnay 2015
Golden Mile Bench, Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaTime in the bottle has given this wine a bit more life. The fruit is brighter on the nose, albeit rich and tropical and reflective of a super warm 2015 fall ripening period. This Golden Mile Bench chardonnay is whole bunch pressed and fermented and partially aged in French oak (50 percent new). A malolactic fermentation has beefed up the texture and creamy textures and reveals a nutty, rich mid-palate packed with pear/peach fruit and even some caramel notes. There is too much everything here but it is not unbalanced. A good start but we expect much more and look forward to the 2016.Tasted: 06 September 2017Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $34.99 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
