Medium deep yellow. The Willamette Valley freshness is apparent from the first sniff. Lemon creme, green apple and fresh pear. Lots of ripe flavor interest: creme brulee, green apples, pears and honey. A hint of caramel on the finish. Fermented in stainless steel; 50% of the juice was then aged for 10 months in seasoned French oak. If you want an introduction to good Oregon Chardonnay, this is a good place to start.

Straight Shooter Willamette Valley Chardonnay, 2018
I have become enamoured of Willamette Valley Chardonnay, but a good, affordable wine from that Oregon appellation is hard to find. I picked this up for $12.99 at Costco and am quite happy with it.
