There is a nice interplay here between ripe stone fruit, lifted citrus, and underlying wet stone aromas on the nose. The palate is fresh, weighty, and quite smooth, with bright fruit, and a cleansing green herbal note on the finish. Score: 92 (Jacky Blisson,

HUFF CATHERINE’S CHARDONNAY 2022 6 VQA Prince Edward County

Lots of ripe fruit and no shortage of wood with a drying sensation on the palate. Lacks a bit of verve and extension, also elasticity. That said there is flesh and pulpiness to this substantial chardonnay. Drink 2024-2026. Tasted blind at NWAC 24, June 2024.
