Yamhill-Carlton Chardonnay

One of the earliest wineries in OR, medium lemon with aromas of pronounced fruits, stone and citrus with floral spice. On the palate complex flavors of apple, pear and lemon rind citrus, slight honeysuckle notes. Long finish, ending crisp with underlying creaminess, displaying a lemon citrus character. Nice!

Green apple, pear, lemon oil, mandarin, green pineapple.

A fair amount of new oak use but the warm year hides out pretty well. They buy the fruit for their Chardonnay and only make it when they find acceptable fruit. Green apple, lime, pineapple, citrus blossoms, nice chalky minerals with good acidity and finish

12.8% alc. 263 cases produced.

If I could only drink one Chardonnay for the rest of my life. This would be a serious contender. #delicious --a#chardonnay

Typical American Butter Bomb. No Thanks.

Oak is stealing the show at this moment; really shows best at room temperature. Nutty, lemon curd, sweet vanilla. An interesting one to watch, and revisit tomorrow.

Toasty brioche. Citrus in the background. So freaking good

Splendid. Criticism of “butter bomb” is highly misplaced. This wine, 2012, has aged perfectly and the palette exudes the roundness and refinement for a great French Chardonnay!!!!!!!!

Medium body, dry, nice acidity. Loaded with apples and pears.
