Willamette Valley Vineyards Dijon Clone Chardonnay, 2017


 After travelling with a group to the French area of Burgundy for advice, Jim Bernau of Willamette Valley Vineyards played a major role in introducing the Dijon clone of Chardonnay into Oregon vineyards. And it was an American Wine Society tasting with Bernau that introduced me to unique qualities of Willamette Valley Chardonnay. 

Medium yellow gold. Enchanting scents that carry over beautifully into the flavors. Ripe pear, white peach with peel, toasted coconut and a touch of honey. Sleek texture with bright acidity and lush fruit flavors. Long, vibrant finish.
