Witness Tree “Willamette Valley” Chardonnay

The Witness Tree Willamette Valley Chardonnay is a blend of our estate-grown Davis 108 clone, coupled with a bit of Dijon clone fruit farmed at the Stand Sure Vineyard.  Upon opening the wine brings intense aromas of pineapples, mangos and other juicy tropical fruits. The wine is showing incredibly well upon opening with no need for decanting.  As it is a cooler vintage, the acidity is a bit higher-toned, yet in complete balance with fruit and alcohol content.  In the mouth the wine shows exceedingly vibrant acidity balanced by a rich, very full mouth-feel of more tropical fruit, butterscotch and a kiss of toasted French oak.  Wonderful on its own, the wine also pairs well cream-based pasta dishes, flaky white fish entrees and smooth, soft cheeses.  This is exceptional value in Oregon Chardonnay, and one that will continue to impress over the next several years.
