John Szabo's review nails it, so I'll just add that I encountered an early edition of Rusty Shed while visiting the winery in 2007, and it impressed even then. I've kept an eye open for it since then, and buy a few bottles when I see it. The stunning 2013 edition is a stellar example of world class chardonnay making in Ontario.

Wow, given the quality relative to the price point for this Bench Chard, this is a steal. Aromas of apple, pear, melon, citrus with well integrated oak, creamy mouthfeel, balanced acidity and excellent length. Aug. 2016.
