Alexana
Signature Willamette Valley Chardonnay
Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Dark golden in color.
Fruity nose with yellow apples, pears, light grapefruits, oak, light vanilla, minerals, light spices and light sea salt.
Medium plus and body and creamy, with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with limes, lemons, apples, bitter herbs, oak, spices, vanilla and white pepper.
Nice length on the finish with limes and bitter almonds.
This is a very tasty Chardonnay from Oregon. Spicy and elegant. Fruit forward and engaging.
Nicely balanced with good complexity, and feels like a white Burgundy.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 20 minutes of airtime. Better when not too cold.
Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 4 years see how it evolves.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food.
100% Chardonnay grapes were aged in oak barrels. A small production of only 4,500 bottles.
13% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$60.

Gingerbread, baked yellow apples, and a slight yogurty tang I imagine is from malolactic fermentation. Plush without being plump and good acidity. Well crafted and enjoyable.

100% mlf. 70% new oak for 11 mos. Surprisingly elegant with solid fruit. Baked apple, cinnamon, gingerbread cookie dough. Beautiful chardonnay.

Jun 23rd, 2017Great, but faint, butterscotch nose that opens to crisp, creamy flavors and tons of fruit in the mouth. Youthful fruit, but definitely has some more potential to lay down.
A great wine to celebrate a new job with family!
