Mirabel Vineyards 2018 Chardonnay 750ml

Cool, reserved and sophisticated right off the top, this is well-dialed chardonnay, on the cooler end of the cool Okanagan climate spectrum from the Kelowna area, with very subtle oak influence, and mostly ripe citrus fruit flavours. I really like the restraint and elegance on offer, and the absence of heavy lees/flinty/reductive character and the very subtle wood influence, just a minor note at the very far end of the back end. Really quite understated but fine wine all in all, ready to drink.

Score: 92 points -- John Szabo, Wine Align
