Bethel Heights Vineyard Estate Chardonnay (2016)

Estate Chardonnay has all of the characteristics we look for from truly great, warm Oregon vintages: energy, tension between the acidity and fruit, asuppleness and body in the mid palate, and a long harmoniousfinish. This wine should age gracefully over the next seven to ten years.

Tasting Notes

92 Vinous
Translucent straw-gold. Aromas of pear nectar, pineapple and Meyer lemon are complemented by subtle vanilla, fennel and jasmine nuances. Juicy and seamless on the palate, offering Meyer lemon, Anjou pear and floral flavors and a touch of dusty minerality that appears on the back half. At once concentrated and lively in personality, delivering firm closing thrust, a repeating floral note and very good persistence.
