Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |

KWV |
Bright light yellow colour. Somewhat nutty, very faintly sulphury, toasty, spicy, ripe lemon nose. Dry, medium-full bodied, tangy, ripe lemon flavours with a slightly toasty, lingering, very crisp, effervescent. A third repeat of the 2010 (*+/**) with only 87-points released on August 22, 2015 at $16.95 and earlier with 89-points (**+) released on March 21, 2015 at $16.95. This batch, however, is very different - recent bottling (with lot number L15309 on the back label with 12% alcohol (vs. 12.5% alcohol for the first preferred shipment with with lot number L13016 on the back label). TONY ASPLER / 89-points / BEST BUY - Toasty, minerally, pear and lemon bouquet with a light white blossom note; medium-bodied, dry, green apple and pear flavours. Good length and great value. This batch has L13509 on the back label. |

TASTING NOTE: Produced from a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this refined sparkling wine spent 24 months on the lees and offers a clean, crisp profile and fine, persistent mousse. Dry, light-medium bodied, it's defined by notes of almond biscuit, green apple, citrus and mineral. There's a tangy note of lemon zest on the extended, refreshingly dry finish. This is a great choice to celebrate with friends or enjoy with a light meal. Score - 4 1/2 Stars (out of 5) (Susan Desjardins, winecurrent.com, April 7, 2014) |
