Black Swift Vineyards Oak Street Vineyard Chardonnay 2015
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOne of three single vineyard 2015 chardonnays The Hatch released under the Black Swift line, this is from a cooler site on Oliver's Golden Mile Bench. Entirely into new French oak puncheons, this streams green apple and cinnamon spicing, but screams new wood. Fortunately there's taut acidity, ample flow and energy to carry this, even though the weight of the new wood drags it down at this stage. This has all the potential and structure to age, though at this youthful point, it requires decanting and something potent like pheasant or grilled turkey to counter. 200 cases were made.Tasted: 06 September 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $39.99 | 750ml | winery direct |
