2008 Carabella Dijon 76 Clone Chehalem Mountains Oregon Chardonnay
13.5% alc., 208 cases, $26.
·
Light straw color in the glass. Lovely scents of
green apple, lemon zest, jasmine, vanilla and polished wood. Reserved but
pleasing flavors of lemon, papaya, and apple. Fresh and crisp with an
underlying minerality unadorned with oak. Hallock takes Chardonnay seriously
and it shows. Good.
