Black Swift Vineyards Oak Street Vineyard Chardonnay 2016
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis was aged for 14 months in new French oak puncheons and, well, it shows. This is a ripe, rich, evolving chardonnay full of golden fruit and baked apple alongside considerable oak influence. There’s almost an unctuousness to the palate, with just enough acidity to keep it in balance, leading to a slightly tannic finish from the wood. In short, a more old school style of chardonnay. It’s bottled under a Diam 30 cork, which guarantees the closure for 30 years, but this is a wine best suited for short-term consumption.Tasted: 06 September 2019Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $39.99 | 750ml | Cellar door, select retailers, restaurants |
