This Oregon Chardonnay is showing a very interesting nose, and on the palate it is elegant and feels like an old world white.
Needs 30 minutes to open up properly, and better when not too cold. Some oak notes show up after 2 hours of airtime.
This 3 year old Chardonnay Feels very young, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
A good food wine that will pair nicely with oysters.
