Willamette Valley Vineyards 2012 Elton Chardonnay (Eola-Amity Hills)

Country: US / Oregon
Variety: Chardonnay
Winery: Willamette Valley Vineyards / Elton

Sweet and extra ripe, this pushes the peach and apricot fruit to a rich and focused center, and keeps the impact of new French oak at just 20%. Which is plenty, adding just enough sweet and toasty vanilla to the extended, rich finish.
