2015 Bethel Heights Chardonnay Casteel Willamette Valley

Chardonnay has been the preeminent white wine at Bethel Heights since the first vines were planted here in 1977.   Today we have six different blocks of Chardonnay planted on various benches and slopes around our Estate vineyards, each with its own tale to tell.

(94 Points)  “From what I consider one of the best Chardonnay vineyards/wineries in Oregon: Bethel Heights … The 2015 Chardonnay Casteel has a seductively savory and rich nose of brioche, cashews and beeswax over a core of honeyed apricots, cedar and ginger. Medium-bodied and with a gorgeous creaminess to the texture, it fills the mouth with stone fruit and spice flavors, finishing with great length and depth.” Lisa Perrotti-Brown  THE WINE ADVOCATE
