Noble Estate 2014 Oak Select Chardonnay (Willamette Valley)

Country: US / Oak Select
Variety: Chardonnay Oregon
Winery: Noble Estate / Willamette Valley

This pleasant and straightforward Chardonnay comes in a hock bottle for no apparent reason. It’s accented with pine needle aromas and flavors of resin and crisp apple. Forward and fruity, the time in barrel seems to have mostly just rounded it off, without adding noticeable flavors.
