Tasting note

First, their non-malolactic 2014 Chardonnay Red Shoulder Ranch comes from a cool-climate vineyard in Carneros. This is aged in 75% oak casks and 25% stainless steel, which seems to be the perfect marriage for showcasing this wine's rich fruit. The wine has loads of tangerine oil, citrus blossom, a hint of apples and orange marmalade. The oak is subtle, the wine medium to full-bodied, pure and rich. Score - 93.

LCBO
This dry and greenish yellow coloured white showcases a complex nose releasing woody, empyreumatic, spicy, floral, fruity and mineral scents. You will be charmed with this full-bodied wine revealing a full-bodied texture and a long finish.
SAQ
Elegant aromas of pineapple, lime, kiwi, papaya and citrus waft from the glass. On the palate carmalized fruit tart, creme brulee and exotic fruit lead the way to an exquisite finish.
