95 POINTS & 5 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
"This Chardonnay has a beautiful, golden hue with aromas of apples that mingle with toasted oak and hints of peach cobbler, coconut and pineapple. The delicate flavours of crème brûlée and vanilla bean give way to lovely notes of key lime, white peach and butterscotch in a medium-bodied mouthfeel." - James Ewart, Winemaker
"Gorgeously ripe and opulent, the wine shows grilled peach, mango, vanillin oak, butterscotch and popcorn aromas on the nose, leading to a sumptuous palate offering fabulous fruit power together with seductive oak infusion, finishing long and lavish." - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.
I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
