Cooks Lot Chardonnay 2012

Another top value drop from winemaker Duncan Cook. Only bottled a few weeks ago, his label now has a QR Code. A clever use of technology and the use of such is starting to expand which I believe is a good thing.

This wine is nicely oaked with some creaminess - baked cheesecake like. Stone fruit and melon characters are typically in the mix but then a wash of vanillin oak sweeps through leaving a finish which lingers well.

Food pairings of baked fish or creamy chicken dishes would suit.

For twenty bucks, this is spot on.
