Road 13 Old Vines Chenin Blanc 2015
Golden Mile Bench, Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaShowing chenin's youthful and fruity side at present, but these old vines (planted 1968) are somewhat stunted by a heavy hand of wood. Right now this is round, juicy orchard fruit, expansive and waxy on the palate, reflective of the warm 2015 vintage. Bitter citrus hues tropical fruits (guava, ripe gooseberries) before lingering ash and light toast to a warmer finish. The 2015 is lacking this wine's characteristic acidic verveTasted: 05 April 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $27.00 | 750ml | winery direct, VQA wine shops |
