Amalie Robert 2012 Heirloom Cameo Chardonnay (Willamette Valley)

Country: US / Heirloom Cameo
Variety: Chardonnay Oregon
Winery: Amalie Robert / Willamette Valley

This barrel-fermented, estate-grown wine matches its luscious citrus and pineapple fruit to veins of butter, caramel and toast. It’s perfectly balanced, lively and fresh, even after being open for a full 24 hours. The style, now becoming particular to many Oregon Chardonnays, sits squarely on the fence between the hyper-lushness of California and the minerality of northern Burgundies.
