Flinty chardonnay, I was surprised and happy with the subtle oak. I am used to over Oaked and little else in a Niagara Chardonnay. This has nice fruit, although seems to have a bit of residual sugar...will look into that.

Dark stewed kirsch cherries on the nose, fruit bomb, some floral notes. Powerful and pleasant nose.
Smooth and full mouthfeel. Balanced acidity, tannin and fruit. A rich yet elegant wine! Great paired with wild boar and dark chocolate ragu on fresh pappardelle.

Pale yellow with gold tinges, clear. Clean nose, slight fruit (honeydew melon, green apple), some minerality on the nose as well. Not a pronounced nose, but pleasant.
Dry in the mouth with marked-refreshing acidity, warmth in the mouth and back of the throat. Light bodied and a short length. An unbalanced wine (too high acidity and alcohol, no complexities).
