2017 Lenné Yamhill-Carlton Willamette Valley Chardonnay

13.5% alc., $48. Estate grown. Barrel fermented in one new and one once-used oak puncheons from Damy. · Comfy aromas of lemon curd, buttery biscuit, warm pear and vanillin. A spirited wine with a welcoming fresh citrus core and delightful harmony. The added flavor of yellow pound cake adds appeal. Soothing in texture with only the faintest oak input and some finishing length. Score: 93. Reviewed April 16, 2019
