The 2006 Rusty Shed Chardonnay is a blend of four blocks of Chardonnay on the Flat Rock Property. Grapes are hand picked and hand sorted before whole bunch pressing takes place. It was then cold settled in stainless steel, 100% barrel fermented and left on the lees for 10 months. Wild and commercial yeasts were used for primary fermentation, followed by malolactic fermentation to soften the natural acidity. The result?
Beautiful example of a mid to full bodied Chardonnay with butter, vanilla, apples and light spice on the palate. A lot of flavour and elegance at this price point. Sampled this 2006 in 2017 but this should sit well and perhaps develop more for a few more years. Best part? It's from Niagara! Loved it!

Hints of balsamic reduction and tea leaves on the nose. Beautiful crimson red in the glass from middle to rim with faint brown edges. Medium tannins and acidity. Black tea, espresso grounds, unripened plum skins and a tomato jam component on the finish. Oak is moderate and well integrated. Tannins hang in there through the finish. Paired with meatloaf...whatever bro. Eat what you got, when you can, when you work in retail. — 7 years ago
Great fruit forward. Blackberry jam, compote, slight oak and high sugar. — 8 years ago
Pleasant floral aroma, tastes like tannic berry jam. I love the label art! — 8 years ago
Nose had some strawberry jam, hints of mild spice like nutmeg cardamon some cinnamon. Muted red fruit which blossoms a bit as it sits in the glass finish ends with slight minerality with a little tannin. Delicious aged 1998 Cornas Syrah. — 8 years ago
On the nose, jam compote, cut roses and vanilla
On the palette, the wine is dense, but well proportioned. Copious amounts of cassis, white pepper, mushrooms and capsicum glide over the tongue. Tannins are pronounced, but suave.
This is a well made and deftly balanced full-throttle blend. I'm impressed as I thought our palettes would be overwhelmed. Works well with and without food. I'd love to take another look at this 3 years from now. — 9 years ago
