\"OLYMPUS<\/p>\n

Some more Canadian highlights. They might be tough to locate, but they are worth the chase.<\/p>\n

Bachelder Wismer Vineyard Chardonnay 2012 Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara, Canada<\/strong>
\nThomas Bachelder is one of Canada’s winemaking heroes. This Chardonnay has a wonderful matschstick\/mineral and spice edge to the nutty nose. Very fine and expressive palate with pear, peach, spice and lovely depth. This is serious. 94\/100<\/p>\n

Domaine Queylus Merlot Cabernet Franc Grande Reserve 2012 Niagara Peninsula, Canada<\/strong>
\nStylish and fine with nice blackberry and blackcurrant fruit. Sweet with a savoury, spicy edge. Generous and fleshy and quite delicious. 93\/100<\/p>\n

\"OLYMPUS<\/p>\n

Southbrook Vineyards Poetica Chardonnay 2011 Four Mile Creek, Niagara, Canada<\/strong>
\nRefined and slightly mineral pear and peach nose. Lovely texture here: spicy and mealy in the mouth with nice density and a hint of creaminess. A lovely broad yet refined Chardonnay. 93\/100<\/p>\n

\"OLYMPUS<\/p>\n

Westcott Reserve Chardonnay 2013 Vinemount Ridge, Niagara, Chardonnay<\/strong>
\nA rich but delicious Chardonnay from a Niagara newcomer (first vintage was 2012). Rich, creamy and toasty with pear and white peach fruit. Bold but refined with smooth textured fruit and nice personality. 93\/100<\/p>\n

\"OLYMPUS<\/p>\n

Church & State Quintessential 2011 Okanagan Valley, Canada<\/strong>
\nA Bordeaux-style blend. Fresh, pure and direct with a gravelly, spicy edge to the black fruits. Superb effort showing lovely balance and focus, offering structure and purity. 93\/100<\/p>\n

Painted Rock Merlot 2009 Okanagan Valley, Canada<\/strong>
\nVery attractive supple blackcurrant and black cherry fruit with hints of tar and gravel. There’s a fleshy, fresh fruity core to this wine but it also has plenty of complexity, too. Sophisticated stuff. 92\/100<\/p>\n
