Winderlea 2007 Chardonnay (Willamette Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Chardonnay Oregon
Winery: Winderlea / Willamette Valley

Half the fruit is sourced from the Carabella vineyard, half from the Hyland vineyard. This is a young, tense, tight wine, still melding itself together. Melon, green pineapple, green banana and Streaks of butter and toast suggest that all the right flavor components are in place. The wine remains steely and compressed; definitely a white wine that should be decanted.
