Bachelder Willamette Valley Chardonnay 2014
Willamette Valley, Oregon, United StatesA blend of various sites in the Willamette and from both sedimentary sandstone and volcanic soils, the 2014 has an expansive bed of lees, saline, generous pear, a medicinal swing and flinty kiss over a river stones base. The wood is very well integrated, with MLF and extended aging in oak (the 2014 is a new release). This was made at the Carlton Winemakers Studio, a collective of like-minded garagistes sourcing Willamette fruit. Native-ferment and gently handled, this is a firm, generous wine, deftly shaped with a light touch. Drinking well know, but will age beautifully.Tasted: 06 September 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $25.00 | 750ml |
