Chehalem 2011 INOX Chardonnay (Willamette Valley)

Country: US / INOX
Variety: Chardonnay Oregon
Winery: Chehalem / Willamette Valley

Surprisingly soft, with an easy-drinking roundness to the midpalate, this is a bit of a butter cookie Chardonnay despite the INOX (stainless steel) moniker. The pretty fruit is the highlight.
