Tasting note
Still quite tightly wound, firm and lean in the appealing sense, Bachelder has crafted a fine chardonnay from several Niagara sites in 2014. It's given a little less elevage than his single vineyard bottlings, and hence retains a touch more fruit and pure, clean, slimmer lines. I love the acid that streaks across the palate, sharp but not shrill, and the creamy citrus flavours and savoury finish that calls for another sip. Very good length, too. Fine value. Tasted June 2017. Score - 90. (John Szabo, MS, winealign.com, June 27, 2017)
