Phantom Creek Estates Chardonnay 2019
Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe PC chardonnay comes off historic Becker Vineyard on the Black Sage Bench, initially developed in 1977 as part of the pioneering Becker Project looking at which Vitis vinifera could thrive in British Columbia. As it turned out, the property went mostly red in 1993, leaving only a small amount of chardonnay that goes to the wine club. The style is on the warmer, richer side. Still, ten months of lees contact and 100 percent barrel fermentation in French oak (20 percent new) bring complexity and texture to the wine: a mix of fresh green apple with tropical overtones and brown spice hint at a modest 12.5 percent alcohol. Ready to drink and would be a fine match for fresh BC halibut.Tasted: 23 October 2020Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $40.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct |
