2002 Mission Hill Estate Chardonnay

[TheEngineer]

I cannot find this bottling anywhere except a their winery. In fact, it is not even listed on their website.....but I love this wine. You may remember that at my first tasting event last year with friends, the 2000 bottling took top honors....so whenever I'm in Kelona, I go and get a bottle (so many others to carry back..)

So the 2002, yup...not yet as nice as the 2000...perhaps it could use a bit more bottle time. Nice floral nose with bits of lemon and pear and a touch of toasted oak and butter. Nice mouth weight. So not the 2000 but not bad....should've picked up the 2001 as well..... I wonder why they do not advertise this bottling?
