Appearance: Medium body, polished and translucent with a brilliant honeyed gold color
Nose: Honeysuckle, fresh whipped cream, white flowers
Taste: Light buttercream, honey, marzipan, almond paste
Enjoyed this as a classic WV Chardonnay - strikes me as a very solid compromise between California and Oregon profiles, with some weight and very light buttery mouthfeel, but with the purity and focus I've come to expect from fine Chardonnay from the Willamette. Beautifully paired with baked trout and a buttery sauce of roasted parsnips, thyme, oyster mushrooms and cream. Definitely will be hanging on to the other two for a couple of years.
