2005 Lailey Vineyard Chardonnay VQA

winemaker's tasting note

The wine shows ripe tropical and yellow fruits on the nose with hints of toffee and green tea. On the palate it is rich with pineapple, pears, spice, and caramel / vanilla flavours. The finish is long with some grapefruit notes, and a good core of acidity gives this wine balance.

review

“The hot summer of 2005 produced riper than usual fruit for Lailey’s Chardonnay.
This richer, riper white boasts deep vanilla and caramel notes on the aroma and palate.
Nicely balanced and food friendly, this medium bodied Chardonnay would work well with cream based pasta dishes.”
