I am staunchly a non-Chardonnay fan (it's hard to believe that with the number of Chardonnays I reviewed in this newsletter - 4 in total), but I have planted my flag firmly in the ABC Camp years ago (Anything But Chardonnay). But over the years I have found myself wiggling the base of that flag as I try Chardonnay after Chardonnay and some just astound me. This one, from Prince Edward County, falls into that flag wiggling category. Such complexity on both the nose and palate is what won me over, with nary a stave in sight. The nose is peach compote with vanilla bean, and buttered nuts that simply invade the nose and stay there. The palate is light and refreshing - not what you expect with those aromas: butter and lemon, crisp acidity, hint of hazelnut, pineapple and a crisp, clean finish that proved to be long and lovely. This wine kept getting better with each sip and there were even more flavours found with each one. This wine has become the first casualty of my lost notebook reviews because I have just been informed it is completely sold out. If you were lucky enough to get some, enjoy.
