Gerry Spinosa seems to have mastered the art of Chardonnay – he has won best Chardonnay in Ontario 3 years in a row (Ontario Wine Awards): and this wine is number three in that line. All these Chardon-acolades are very funny indeed, because Gerry is not himself a Chardonnay fan. This is one Chardonnay I would call “very Chardonnay” - oaky, smoky, toasty with fruit hiding under all those barrel notes. Give it time to open up and you’ll find spicy pear, baked apple and cinnamon spice – all with a long finish and good acid backing. Price: $40.00 – Rating: ****+
