Inniskillin Winemaker's Series Three Vineyards Chardonnay 2007, V.Q.A. Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, Canada: Vintages Wine Panel: This flavorful, full-blown Chardonnay is a tasty sign of things to come from Ontario’s spectacular 2007 vintage. Toasty, buttery sweet apple flavors are accented by vanilla and toffee, all artfully integrated. Creamy-textured, refined and balanced with bright fruit and a well-measured use of oak, this long-finishing wine should evolve well with 2-3 years bottle age. My note: Zesty top notes of lime and grapefruit on the nose are followed by an extra lively acidity on the palate. Terrific zesty flavors of green apples and lemon peel with some white field flowers in the background. Closed with a screwcap. Drink: 2009-2012. 576991 13.50% XD 750 mL  $20.95 Score: 92/100.

Te Kairanga Chardonnay 2007, Martinborough, North Island, New Zealand: Perfect chardonnay, in my opinion. Hazelnut richness bathed in aromas of green apple, peach and pear and a little lime.
