Hester Creek Chardonnay 2016

Golden Mile Bench, Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA traditional style chardonnay that’s more on the old school side. There is plenty of oak contact here and you sense it on the ripe, soft round plate. The attack is slightly fresher with both tropical and green apple nuances. The palate is similar but with more resiny notes mixed with pineapple, baked apple and nutty lees that finish warm with a twist of caramel. Try this with crab or halibut.Tasted: 17 October 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
