This one specific barrel stood out so much from the others, that Corey Mio and others at Collab unanimously agreed: you've gotta bottle this one separately! And he did. And I'm grateful that he did!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAromas of yellow apple, lime, yellow plum, pear and jasmine. More precise than generous, this \"Reserve\" style Chardonnay deserves the spotlight for its energy and precision.  Citrus zest and yellow apple on the front palate, followed by meringue and vanilla, preserved lemon and quince, and highlighting a tremendous mineral finish with undeniable oak spices. The finish is long and simply spectacular.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThis is Premier Cru level wine. Less flashy than the yellow label Chard from Sempre Mio, but more complex and more serious. Very well priced for a \"one barrel\" production and this level of quality.  This could be $85 and I wouldn't bat an eye.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #212121;\"\u003e (Carl Boucher, July 20, 2026). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #212121;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h4 inline-richtext\"\u003e94 points, Carl's Wine Club\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h4 inline-richtext\"\u003eON Niagara Peninsula VQA Lincoln Lakeshore\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h4 inline-richtext\"\u003e100% Chardonnay\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product__text inline-richtext\"\u003eDry Wine | 13.8% ABV | Drink from 2026 to 2032\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product__text inline-richtext\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e seared halibut, crab legs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sempre Mio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52969520202021,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/1984\/6693\/files\/sempremiochardprimo.jpg?v=1785808512","url":"https:\/\/carlswineclub.com\/products\/2023-sempre-mio-primo-chardonnay-%f0%9f%94%a5-94pts","provider":"Carl's Wine Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
