Left Coast Cellars Chardonnay Truffle Hill 2014

13.8% | 100% Chardonnay, clones: 76, 95, 96 & Musqué | Fermented 66% in oak barrels and 33% in stainless steel. Aged nine months in 25% new French Oak with the balance in neutral oak.

"Our Truffle Hill, single vineyard, Chardonnay immediately shows what makes Oregon Chardonnay unique amongst the West Coast. The cool maritime breezes that flow through our vineyard, give this wine bright acidity and a zesty, lip-smacking quality. With just 25% new French barrels, there is enough oak present on the nose and in the front palate to let you know it’s there, but not so much as to drown out the fruit. The target of our Chardonnay is perfect balance.

"No butter, no vanilla, but maybe just a bit of cream… what chardonnay tastes like when it lets its hair down. Flinty with Golden apples, baked pears, spice and fig on a refreshing frame, sur lie aged for just 9 months."
