DeLille Cellars Roofline Oregon Chardonnay, 2020

DeLille Cellars is located in Washington and specializes in Bordeaux-style wines. Chardonnay, obviously, is not grown in Bordeaux, and the grapes for Roofline come from Oregon.

Medium deep gold. Lively smells of flowers, lime and melon. Has an acidic edge and mineral flavors I associate with Oregon Chardonnay. At this stage of development, I don't detect the lemon curd texture I love in Chardonnays from Willakenzie, Willamette Valley Vineyards and Sokol Blosser wines. For a general Oregon appellation  (not even Willamette Valley), however, Roofline offers an impressive array of complex, savory smells and flavors.
