Bethel Heights Chardonnay 2015

The 2015 Estate Chardonnay has all of the characteristics we look for from truly great, warm Oregon vintages: energy, tension between the acidity and fruit, asuppleness and body in the mid palate, and a long harmoniousfinish.

This winery's Chardonnays are simply outstanding, from top to bottom. And as the least expensive in the range, this bottling is one to stockpile by the case. Sleek, supple and dense, it matches immaculate stone fruit flavors to bright acidity and pretty barrel toast. Balanced, rich and penetrating, it stands up nicely to wines that cost three times as much.
