Highlight:

The 2021 Chardonnay Casteel is complex and alluring, offering dynamic aromas and flavors as it unfurls with oxygen over several days. The nose offers lemon peel and panna cotta, spicy, honeyed undertones and streaks of flint. The medium-bodied palate is satiny and expansive with impressively concentrated, slightly exotic fruit driven by focused acidity, and just enough smoky reduction adds even more complexity to its generous fruit. Year after year, the Casteel is one of the best Chardonnays coming out of Oregon, and this 2021 is especially gorgeous! - Erin Brooks

Description

The 2021 Bethel Heights Casteel Chardonnay showcases the depth and precision of old-vine Chardonnay from Oregon’s Eola-Amity Hills in the Willamette Valley. Sourced from estate vines planted in 1977 and 1994, this wine balances richness with remarkable freshness. Aromas of lemon peel, green apple, white flowers, baking spice, and subtle flint lead into a silky palate layered with citrus oils, stone fruit, and mineral complexity. Aged in French oak, it delivers texture and elegance while maintaining bright acidity and a long, refined finish
