Winderlea Vineyard & Winery – Chardonnay 2018 🍇✨
Willamette Valley, Oregon – USA 🇺🇸

This isn’t just any Chardonnay — it’s one of the finest I’ve tasted from this region in years 🙌. Terroir-driven and crafted from a brilliant vineyard blend: Carabella in Chehalem Mountains (35%), Hyland & Meredith Mitchell in McMinnville (33% & 23%), and Winderlea Estate in Dundee Hills (9%). This mosaic of sites brings perfect harmony and depth to the glass.

Style: Burgundian elegance with an Oregon soul 🌿.
Flavor: Rich, succulent mouthfeel layered with peach 🍑, apricot 🍯, bright apple 🍏, and a gentle whisper of toast.

Mouthfeel: Well-structured & balanced — complex yet endlessly drinkable. Even now, at 2018, it still beams with lively acidity ⚡ and a creamy, enticing finish.

💰 a bit pricier for the region, but every sip confirms it’s worth it.
Cheers to Oregon brilliance! 🥂

Excellent Oregon Pinot. Makes me want to hit their cyber Monday sale. This wine is missing from Delectable and is a Pinot Dijon 667 clone. — 6 years ago

Celebrating the power coming back on after 7 hours! Off the grid is soooooo overrated! This is an excellent Oregon Pinot by one of the best "secret wineries". — 9 years ago
