Domaine Drouhin Oregon 2012 Arthur Chardonnay (Dundee Hills)

Country: US / Arthur
Variety: Chardonnay Oregon
Winery: Domaine Drouhin Oregon / Dundee Hills

It’s tempting to call this Burgundian, but it’s truly Oregonian—a lush, expressive mix of tart tree fruits, vivid acidity, lightly applied barrel toast, and smidges of coconut and vanilla. It was whole-cluster pressed, and fermented half in stainless, half in 30% new French oak.
