When it comes to techno, I like (the ideas) of, Session two discusses Yield and Context. The fourth annual #i4c14 celebration in July is the stuff of Chardonnay dreams because of the cool visions of vignerons like Thomas Bachelder, Harald Thiel, Norman Hardie, Ann Sperling and Peter Gamble, Martin Malivoire, Ed Madronich, Bill Redelmeier, Doug and Karen Whittyand Moray Tawse.
Manipulation and over-handling is the norm, not the exception. Alcohol: 12%

Atop the green there is an ambrosial aroma and a honeyed sense of flesh. Tasted July 2014. Drink now.
Ann, let me guess where you stand. It is no secret that Sperling is a Canadian leader in this hotly debated field. There are waves of richness that jab, poke and stamp their way into your Chardonnay heart. At this point in history, success out of French vineyards is a given, blatant and obvious. In addition to the winemakers and winery proprietors there is an army of volunteers.
Of note were green seeds, so were not fighting green character, says Sperlings partner Peter Gamble.
While this oxidative, white caramel, and cultured style will only increase with each tick of the odometer, that time will also be needed to skim and separate that cream from the bouillon. Poeticas refrain is like wind on the weathervane, her tragically subdued fruit quiet, but able to travel long.

Atkin reminds that Chardonnay is still the fastest growing white variety in the world but that even worse things have befallen this noble grape variety. So, while the cosmos are in impossible exquisite chaos, I can think of no better time to put my wine recommendations on their head and offer up tasting notes on a winter six-pack of Canadian whites and bubbles. Critic Rating: 88.5 points Tony Aspler. Giovanni Casorzo (Casorso,) began this viticultural journey in the late 1800s when he left struggling Italy to find a better life in America. Kistler, Talley, Maycas Limari and Cave Spring also do the #i4c14 unthinkable. Plum, dark cherry, jammy dark berry flavours. Repeats the value shared by both the 2010 and the 2009.

Despite the trepidation heard all summer long, I have to believe that the wines from 2013 will be some of the most interesting and alt-exceptional we have ever seen.
The Bridge is charged, demanding and I believe this 05 would continue to benefit from a few more years relaxation before finding its true elegance.
At 10.5 per cent alcohol and with an unmistakably stony, sweet and sour whiff the wine speaks of its off-dryness. Palate: Medium-bodied, dry, quite forward, with strawberry and cherry flavours; nicely structured with ripe tannins and brisk acidity. This is the all-around good guy, the one with an open invitation, the bridge from Estate to Dolomite to Csv.
Harald Thiel believes organics and biodynamics are much more complicated, beyondcertification.

All these things (manipulations in the winery) are fine if they are done sensitively.
Being organic today is not enough. Its a victim of its own ubiquity and adaptability. What makes it so special then? Gather them all together, add in some warm weather and the recipe is dressed for success.
We remove any berries that are overripe, announces Geoff Labitzke.

Szabo notesthat quality, at the top end has diversified, especially in Burgundy. He then wants to know who is an acid lover? The answer to that question is the first clue towards an understanding of the meaning in (cool) Chardonnay.
If I grow Pinot Noir at (only) two tons per acre, its pretty difficult to make it economically viable., Surprisingly green, herbal and cool spirit driven Chardonnay.

The balance is currently upended though there can be little doubt bottle age will calm the high extract and lead it to a calmer future. Hints of green pepper and black pepper spice.

The alcohol reads 14 per cent but it manages to reflect a cool image in the mirror.

Vine balance is the key. Willwerth cautions against stereotyping the vine vigor quotient.
A cool breeze blows through carrying just the faintest note of fromage, even more pepper and the most sapid orchard fruit. Like Willwerth, he believes in the Sesame Street word of the day.
In a way, that is a large compliment. Gravensteinapple skin, gingerbread and freshly grated horseradish layered over MalagashThrumcap oysters.

Raspberry, strawberry, cranberry, orange zest, hint of green herbs.
Recreating balance is a bad practice. Crisp fruit, sour lemon drop, lime zest, unmistakable in Niagara Peninsula manner but added to by the blessedly atypical warm vintage. I sense longer hang time, more redress and slower slumber.
A crisp, clean and linear style, full of night-air freshness, white flowers and white fruit. Low, old and slow, all about circulation and flow. Finishes with pith and citrus intensity. Where else is it possible that the fruit of one vine can bethe sole proprietor to leadsuch a fervent tailgate of amaurotic yearning?
Reminiscent of a Beaujolais cru.
There exudes plenty of peeling citrus perfume in sunshine and some essential oil release, in wood, though it is by no means excessive.
