Muted on first pour. Apples, citrus. Medium acidity and alcohol. Meh.

Sunshine in a bottle - 100% stainless but some lees for balance and texture. This wine begs for a day sailing in the harbor.

No oak, no ML, no RS, no BS. Just pure and direct Chardonnay.

Light and bright! This Unoaked Chardonnay from the a Willamette Valley, OR is the perfect wine for those hot summer days. Nice tart fruits such as lemon, young tart yellow apple, a hint of pineapple with some peaches and pear. A touch of spice along with mineral. Very crisp, refreshing and well balanced.

Crisp but not tart (finally) unoaked Chard. Pleasant malic acidity and barely ripened D'Anjou pear.
Will buy Chehalem again solely because the bottle lists harvest date range (09/21/13-10/05/23) RS, pH, and TA. So dorky and soooo fun!
