16^¼/20

Golden Mile Bench, Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis chardonnay from the Golden Mile Bench opens with ripe stone fruit and pineapple, layered with sweet vanillin and baking spices coming from the oak aging. The fruit feels even sweeter and richer on the palate, resembling the lush and rich style of classic California chardonnays. Sure to please a broad audience.

Tinhorn Creek Reserve Chardonnay 2021

Golden Mile Bench, Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaChardonnay has gone through many iterations at Tinhorn, but I like the direction of this 2021. Everything is in place for this wine to reach another level. The wine is well balanced, and the fruit is presented in a muted California style. The complexity is available through a leesy, nutty lens, and the long and lingering finish keeps you wanting more. A wine for the future, and I can’t wait to see the 2022.Tasted: 05 May 2023Tasted by: Prices:

Tinhorn Creek Reserve Chardonnay 2021

Golden Mile Bench, Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA classic Chardonnay with ripe lemon and nectarine that's accented with butter and sweet oak after aging for 18 months in French oak. You feel the warmth of the 2021 vintage here, both in the fruit ripeness and weight of the wine, which offers a rich, creamy texture against relatively soft acidity. It's a popular style that will appeal broadly, to be sure, very much in a California idiom. Sourced from Tinhorn Creek Vineyard on the Golden Mile Bench.Tasted: 22 July 2023Tasted by: Prices:
