Willakenzie Estate Willamette Valley Chardonnay, 2018

 Even though the appellation for this wine is simply Willamette Valley, 70% of the fruit comes from the estate (Yamhill-Carlton) with the other 30% from nearby Dundee Hills--both excellent AVAs for both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Color turning from yellow to light gold, bright and clear. Chardonnay apple and citrus in an elegant package. Lemon curd, savory spices, white peaches, honey and a touch of butter. Combines intensity and richness. Long, satisfying, complex finish.
