Battle Creek Unconditional Chardonnay

(Oregon, USA)

I get so excited whenever I see the vibrant red "New Item" tags in the Burgundy or Oregon white wine sections. Recently, I came across an exceptional bottle crafted by a talented female winemaker (who, by the way, also plays full-contact football for the Oregon Ravens). Priced under $20, it was a steal! I knew I had to bring it home to give it a shot. A friend who sampled it at an in-store tasting raved about its delightful Chablis-like quality, proving it's both delicious and budget-friendly. This wine, aged in a stunning mix of neutral oak and stainless steel, strikes a perfect balance of delicacy and brightness without that heavy, buttery, "round" mouthfeel. It embodies a captivating "rugged elegance," complemented by vibrant acidity that keeps you coming back for more. I'm eager to delve deeper into this gem and share it with all of you! 121864
