Black Hills Chardonnay 2019
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWinemaker Ross Wise shows his deft touch with chardonnay with his first vintage at Black Hills. It's elegant and poised, with a precision to the fruit that immediately grabs your attention. The emphasis is on freshness, not only in terms of the bright citrus, but also the modest 13%. The oak is beautifully integrated, with added complexity coming from a touch of flinty reduction. Some richness on the palate alludes to its South Okanagan origins, but otherwise this is beautifully restrained. Outstanding value at this price.Tasted: 04 April 2021Tasted by: Prices:BC | $29.90 | 750ml | winery direct and private wine shops |
