Variety: Chardonnay Oregon
Winery: Rex Hill / Willamette Valley
You’d never confuse this with a California Chard. Well, Anderson Valley, maybe. It’s a cool-climate wine. Aromas of fresh, cold green apples, with what seems like an overlay of buttery oak. Brilliantly dry and crisp in the mouth. It’s all about acidity here; flavors are secondary. Clean as a whistle, edgy, a nervously racy wine that practically cries out for shellfish.
