Willamette Valley Vineyards 2014 Elton Chardonnay (Eola-Amity Hills)

Country: US / Elton
Variety: Chardonnay Oregon
Winery: Willamette Valley Vineyards / Eola-Amity Hills

The round, forward scents and flavors of buttery popcorn dominate this vineyard designate, and that buttery note carries all the way into and around the finish. Though it spent just nine months in 20% new French oak, the palate and flavors suggest that it went through full malolactic. It’s a stylistic choice that will delight many Chardonnay lovers.
