Argyle Chardonnay 2009

Argyle 2009 Chardonnay Willamette Valley
So much more mineral driven and crisper than Chardonnays from farther south with a mild orchard fruit and talcy charms that lift the palate with lime acidity and an engaging light bodied finish. At 12.5% alcohol I adore this wine as a dinner partner because it doesn’t blast the palate or overwhelm the herbed lemon chicken I like to roast and grill for this delicious, lip smacking taste of the Pacific Northwest.
