TASTING NOTE: A terrifically ripe, sweet fruit scented and fleshy vintage for Cave Spring's estate chardonnay raises the Beamsville bar and the cool climate condition once again. It's becoming increasingly amazing what weight, stone fruit and even tropical cream flavours can be coaxed from these Bench fruits and how that can accumulate into such a rich, though still spirited collection. Pour this for any sort of chardonnay lover anywhere in the world and they will all be duly impressed. Drink 2017-2020. Tasted June 2017. Score - 90 (Michael Godel, winealign.com, July 9, 2017) |
