| TASTING NOTE: This is a slim, elegant, almost steely young chardonnay - very typical of 2013 in Niagara. Expect fairly lifted flinty, lemon, green apple, vague toastiness and spice. It's quite intense with a lean, lemon, mineral finish. Very good to excellent length. Excellent value. Score - 89 (David Lawrason, winealign.com, July 2, 2015) |
