Foxcroft vineyard, in the Twenty Mile Bench, has already gained a reputation as one of Niagara's premier cru vineyards, but tiny Black Bank Hill remains one of the region's best-kept secrets. This exquisite bottling shows how truly lovely Bench Chardonnay can be.
A powerful wine with gripping acidity ensconced in the vanilla and smoke of French oak, which while fully present, does not overwhelm the wine. The chalky minerality reflects Foxcroft's limestone soils.
Exciting today, surely a famous wine with 3+ years in the cellar.
