Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Very pale straw in the glass. Quite aromatic initially showing peaches and nectarines and lemon curd. More subdued after some air, with an ever so slight touch of oak, and oyster shell. Very sotto voce

Rainwater, lemon peel, minerals, pomelo. Nice light aromas.
Wanted something a bit more chewy on the white side that wasn’t a dry Riesling or Sancerre or a Chenin, so I went with a tried and true Chardonnay that doesn’t rely on oak treatment like a mamma’s boy.
Originally turned off by those Chardonnay’s, it’s been a while since I ventured out to this varietal again. Glad I did.
Well-rounded, balanced, slight effervescence, acidity doesn’t fall off, full and dry at once. Refreshing and savory. Wonderful. Love to be proved wrong. I always went the Chablis route, but this bottle proves to be a ballet on the palate.
