Carabella 2013 Dijon 76 Estate Chardonnay (Chehalem Mountains)

Country: US / Dijon 76 Estate
Variety: Chardonnay Oregon
Winery: Carabella / Chehalem Mountains

Careful winemaking balances the fruit and oak perfectly in this lovely, medium-weight wine. It’s polished and steely, with just-ripe apple and pear fruit, braced with racy, lemony acidity and a streak of minerality. It was fermented in 100% French oak, one sixth new.
