| Bright medium straw colour. Gently spicy, faintly honeyed, ripe lemon puree nose with some slight cedary, mineral-tinged notes. Dry, medium-full bodied, harmonious, spicy, baked lemon-apple flavours with a lingering, somewhat cedary, fairly high acid finish. Ready-to-drink. The first bottle had some vinegar notes. Has 13% alcohol and 3 g/L residual sugar. Not up to the 2013 (***) that was released on October 14, 2017 at $44.95. |

| TASTING NOTE: The 2015 vintage was a strong for Niagara, and for this winery in particular! Toasted almond on the nose and palate of this medium-bodied Niagara Chardonnay. Judicious use of oak aging. White apricot and chalky dry finish. Pair with roasted chicken. Drink: 2018-2023. Score - 91 (Natalie MacLean, nataliemaclean.com, April 20, 2018) |
