We have spoken plentifully about the 2020 vintage and how highly that growing season rates in the hierarchy of Ontario vintages. The second release of Dobbin Chardonnay makes no exception to the 2020 profile: bold, rich, powerful and complex. This Chardonnay is all about ripe, luscious fruits. On the nose, aromas of perfectly ripe lemon, lemon cream, pear, chamomile, with also a hint of stone fruits like apricot and fresh peach. The palate is extravagant and broad, exuding tremendous concentration on the mid-palate and a spectacular finish. The flavours of yellow apple, Meyer lemon, fresh peach and hazelnut all come together nicely before a precise wave of saline minerality hits your tongue, followed by a hint of white pepper to close out the experience. This wine needs another two years in the cellar before it truly hits the level that I expect it to reach, but of course, it is highly enjoyable now as well. The length of this Chardonnay is very impressive and justifies the premium price point. (Carl Boucher, October 20, 2024). 236 cases made.
