Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThere isn't much that is every day about the Meyer's 'every day' chardonnay because, as is the case with top-flight programs, entry-level wines are pulled along at a higher level than their peers. The fruit is a mix of chardonnay sourced in Okanagan Falls, Naramata, and Osoyoos. The production drill is familiar: whole cluster press, fermentation in a mix of French oak and stainless steel before going through malolactic fermentation and six months rest on lees. This leads to an inviting white rich in lemon, with green apple, toast, and creamy textures through the finish. Pop the screwcap and get at it. You won't regret it. I love the value here.Tasted: 01 November 2020Tasted by: Prices:
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaMeyer is a chardonnay specialist, through energy and acclaim, so know that their 'entry tier' chardonnay is above most in that category. This comes from their Okanagan Falls home vineyard, as well as Naramata's Old Main Road Vineyard and Cellarsbend Vineyard, as well as the family-owned Anarchist Mountain Vineyard in Osoyoos, all sustainably farmed. After a whole cluster press, this was fermented in a mix of French oak and stainless steel, where it remained for MLF and 6 months' rest. Easy and welcoming, with lemon curd, green apple, pear, white peach and green hedge with a gentle toasty tug on the creamy, bright palate. Ready for drinking now, conveniently under screw cap, while you wait for their single-vineyard chardonnays.Tasted: 08 November 2020Tasted by: Prices:
