Longplay 2008 Lia’s Vineyard Jory Slope Chardonnay (Chehalem Mountains)

Country: US / Lia’s Vineyard Jory Slope
Variety: Chardonnay Oregon
Winery: Longplay / Chehalem Mountains

Strongly flavored by the barrel fermentation and extended lees contact, this rich and textural Chardonnay opens with toasted coconut, banana cream pie, pear tart and other pastry-like delights. It is not fruit-deficient, however, and there is plenty of snappy acidity under all the goodies.
