Bachelder Johnson Vineyard Chardonnay 2013
Willamette Valley, Oregon, United StatesFrom Bachelder's Oregon project, this is from Yamhill Carlton's Johnson Vineyard and its alluring Jory sedimentary soils. Beauty stony herbal notes open with a swing of reduction. The savoury, earthy theme continues on the palate, with large flake sea salts leading and fine citrus scenting the textural, medium-bodied core. Verve and energy, this is showing beautifully now, and will continue to impress with time in your cellar. I love Willamette chardonnay, and this typifies why. 91Tasted: 23 August 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $45.00 | 750ml |
