Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: March 7, January 4, December 16 and November 20.

The 2010 season will be remembered as one of the hottest in recent memory and our earliest harvest ever at Rosehall Run. The Chardonnay pick began under gloriously clear skies the last week of September and continued with near perfect conditions until its conclusion just before Thanksgiving. All fruit was sourced from Hillier clay limestone vineyards in PEC.
Brix readings between 22.5 and 24.5 ensured good body yet, somewhat remarkably, there is a great beam of acidity that supports all that ripe fruit-likely due to the cool overnight temperatures.
Ferment and elevage took place in French oak for about 14 months mostly in 500 L puncheons, about a third new wood. Subsequently the cuvee selection was blended into stainless steel and allowed to marry for another 3 months prior to bottling.

Serve this wine between 55-60 degrees Farenheit or 12-16 degrees Celsius. Tip: If your bottle is at room temperature, put it in ice water for about 30 minutes or in the fridge for about three hours to chill it.
