Dark Horse Vineyard Chardonnay 2018

Golden Mile Bench, Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaDark Horse is a trip back in time to an old-style, over-the-top, oak-laden chardonnay with a creamy caramel tropical fruit nose, coconut, and toasted hazelnuts. The attack is full-bodied, warm and rich, with more penetrating buttery, honey pineapple vanilla flavours and a strong smoky, toasted oak character in the finish. It is aged nine months in oak, 20 percent new, before going to bottle. Try this with grilled lobster or crab.Tasted: 07 November 2019Tasted by: Prices:
