Blue Mountain Reserve Chardonnay 2015
Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFor all the negativity surrounding the 2015 vintage and how warm it was and how many winemakers struggled to keep the alcohol in check, the Blue Mountain Reserve Chardonnay comes in at an amazing 13.0 percent. This wine has always been one of the more complex BC chardonnays, but always on the richer side with plenty of oak. Look for intense floral notes and a sweet ripeness tempered by a spicy creamy, lemony undercurrent and a hazelnut finish. Some 60 percent is fermented in French oak split among new to four-year-old barrels, with the remainder finished in stainless steel. A terrific effort in a challenging year for white wine. This will easily age through 2020.Tasted: 05 July 2018Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $29.90 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
