Another beauty of a Chardonnay from Southbrook – there’s no wonder why owner Bill Redelmeier is so hopped up on this grape. “Sirugue” refers to the barrel this wine rested in after pressing but before bottling. Nice oak integration making the wine smooth and creamy on the palate with plenty in the way of buttery aspects. On the nose it’s pretty with floral, apple and peach along with vanilla and caramel notes backing it all up on the finish. Price: $34.75 – Rating: ****+
