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! 🥂

This really does have Chambolle character. See Lyle’s notes. Light in color, bright, some tea notes but for the most part beautiful fruit, touch cherry, raspberry, citrus… and very soft tannins - days later under my Argon line- faint prune plum. Wouldn’t age this - it is perfect now! — 4 months ago

A strong effort by Solena. A bit heartier than some of the other single vineyards — 9 months ago

Smells like eating black cap raspberries in the middle of a fresh tilled garden of thyme and spring lettuces. — 2 years ago
