Powers Columbia Valley (Washington) Chardonnay, 2022

This Chardonnay was presented at a local Tasters' Guild dinner that I didn't attend. It was well received, and I bought a bottle to try.

Medium lemon yellow. Fruit rather than oak, white peaches and melon with a hint of honey. Firm acidity on the palate. The wine apparently is unoaked or has had very little oak treatment, and I approve of that. Lacks the complexity and excitement, though, that I have found in many Dijon Clone Oregon Chardonnays. Still young and will probably age well over five years or so. I would consider buying more at $10 to $12 a bottle.
