It’s been pointed out to me that I’m a bit of a hardass when it comes to Chardonnay – and I’ll admit that I can be … I’m just tired of the same old same old when it come to this grape. Well don’t expect that here, this is one amazing Chardonnay. The nose is apple-butter and vanilla with a touch of cinnamon (just a whiff) … the palate really goes above and beyond creamy, buttery and smooth entry with vanilla-lemon cream, apple compote and peach puree and a yummy long finish that has hints of spice and really good acidity. Price: $34.95 – Rating: **** ½
