Obelisco Estate 2011 Chardonnay (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US /
Variety: Chardonnay Washington
Winery: Obelisco Estate / Columbia Valley (WA)

This was done half in stainless and half in oak, and the blend is near perfect. Spicy and full-bodied, the peppery fruit is nicely set against a gentle backdrop of barrel toast. Cantaloupe, apple and papaya flavors are in abundance, with a finish of toasted coconut.
