2009 vintage. Crisp, fresh lime, citrus and vanilla aromas. Lively acidity with tart lemon/lime on the palate and some minerality showing through. Medium-full bodied with lemon and spice on the finish. Tasted Jan/2013.

This is the bottle of wine that got me into white wine again. I had the pleasure of drinking this at Peller estates and the sommelier paired it with a lobster bisque as part of a prix fixe that paired a wine to each course. It was served well-chilled and what stood out for me was the buttery taste, despite being unoaked (which I wrongly assumed would make it dry and tight). We took a second bottle home with us.
Unfortunately I probably won't drink this chardonnay again because that night at Peller Estates actually was the same night my wife left me.
