2014 Knudsen Vineyards Dundee Hills Willamette Valley Chardonnay

13.5% alc., pH 3.27, TA 0.63, 275 cases, $45, screwcap. A blend of Dijon 76 and 95 planted in Jory soil in 1995. Aged 6 months in French oak barrels, 20% new. · Moderately light golden yellow color in the glass. Lovely aromas of lemon, white orchard fruits, buttery brioche and cold steel. Clean and refreshing on the palate, with flavors of apple, Asian pear, lemon-lime and a hint of vanilla, with a sleek mouthfeel, impeccable balance, and an uplifting finish. Still charming when tasted two days later from a previously opened and re-corked bottle. Score: 94. Reviewed May 6, 2017
