J. Scott Cellars 2012 Chardonnay (Rogue Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Chardonnay Oregon
Winery: J. Scott Cellars / Rogue Valley

A lot of good things are going on in this barrel fermented, unapologetically oaky wine with notes of butter, pumpkin spices and almond complemented by a creamy, rich feel. Still, the alcohol gets a bit too far out front and provides a distracting sense of heat throughout.
