Bergström 2014 Old Stones Chardonnay (Willamette Valley)

Country: US / Old Stones
Variety: Chardonnay Oregon
Winery: Bergström / Willamette Valley

This cuvée, says winemaker Josh Bergström, is crafted to compete with village Burgundies. Principally Temperance Hill fruit, it more than does the job, with great mouthfeel, and a succulent tangy ripe mix of citrus and stone fruits. There’s a lick of caramel apple coming through also, and the wine is bursting with bright flavors across the board.
