Huff Estates Winery South Bay Chardonnay 2006

Natalie's Review

Huff Estates Winery South Bay Chardonnay 2006, V.Q.A., Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada: Vintages Wine Panel: Monstrous stainless-steel vats and traditional barrels that together are used to produce classic Bordeaux varieties such as merlot and cabernet franc as well as more traditional white wines such as chardonnay, riesling and pinot gris. The estate has won numerous medals over the years, and its 2004 chardonnay was named the official wine of the Ontario Legislature for 2005-06. My note: Terrific concentration and depth of flavor here, with aromas of baked apples, brioche, vanilla spice, hazelnut, almond and butterscotch. Half of this Chardonnay was aged in oak barrels and the other half in stainless to combine creamy richness with purity of fruit and good acidity.  88955  D  750 mL  $29.95  Score: 90/100.
