British Columbia, CanadaThis Chardonnay is unrecognizable at first, with its new label, and fancy Stelvin Lux closure. From various estate plots, this slowly fermented in French barrels and foudre for more than 3 months before aging in the same vessels for 10 months. Full on the palate, the bright yellow apple and pear fruit is decked with a healthy slick of lees, and lightly bracketed with a refreshing lemon pith rinse. This is familiar chardonnay, well attended to, and creeping ever so modern, fresh and tight. A smart forward move for this wine and winemaker Taylor Whelan.Tasted: 04 December 2019Tasted by: Prices:

British Columbia, CanadaCedarCreek has a new and much-welcomed package that includes a revamped label design and a switch to the elegant, sleek Stelvin Lux screwcap. The chardonnay is equally fun with a sense of freshness permeating a ripe, generous chardonnay that is fermented and oak and aged in varying vessels from foudres to stainless steel. The northern effect kicks in, adding a mineral, stony undercurrent to the lemon, peach fruit, bringing brightness and lift to a well-made, inexpensive chardonnay. This is a versatile food wine you can serve with salads, poultry, crab, and fish tacos.Tasted: 14 November 2019Tasted by: Prices:
