Who ever would have thought that we would see the day when a BC Chardonnay sold for $65? Well that day has come and Meyer Family Vineyards created quite a stir with the launch of this wine a year ago. Now they are opening a new tasting room/cellar door near Okanagan Falls so you can buy this single vineyard, small lot Chardy directly from them.
You cannot deny it's an elegant, complex wine - more Burgundy than BC. Golden yellow in colour the aromas are flinty, creamy and nutty - think praline and a hint of vanilla, minerals and smoke with excellent oak integration. Golden fruits and snappy citric flavours are layered on the palate - pear, nectarine and a hint again of vanilla. It has a slick rounded texture, lovely balanced acidity and spiced, lingering finish.
