North Valley Willamette Valley Classic Chardonnay 2022

This Willamette Valley wine punches way above its price point. Honeyed aromatics of apricot collide with bright notes of green apples, dried pears, ginger, seaspray and lemon pith. The palate offers fleshy citrus cream and a salted lemon peel streak that bounds into chipped flint minerality. The entire affair is bright and airy, with a stony grip that lifts rich citrus fruit. It is wholly delicious, a piece of brilliance. Zesty and delicious with a satisfying and succulent finish. Drink now.
