Day Wines, Chardonnay, Yamhill Carlton OR, 2015
$62.00
The 2015 vintage of our Belle Pente Vineyard Chardonnay is a chameleon. Initially, notes of orange peel citrus and spice suggest a decadent wine, but these quickly give way to cool and clean aromas of honeysuckle, wintergreen, and crushed oyster shell. It’s reminiscent of a top-flight premier cru Chablis with bright, focused acidity supporting green apple and tangerine flavors. The wine’s Chablisiènne side shows even more in the racy minerality that unfolds with air and carries through the long, vibrant finish.
