2018 Bethel Heights Vineyard Chardonnay Casteel Estate Eola-Amity Hills

(94 Points) The winery offers a splendid slate of Chardonnays, all from estate-grown fruit. This reserve bears the owners' name, is barrel-fermented and shines with a rich mix of fruit, oak and butter. What propels all the mainstream flavors is the acidity, underscoring the apple, pear and peach fruit, and keeping the finish lively. A touch of minerality along with the pretty barrel toast makes the finish as luscious as the beginning. — Paul Gregutt, Wine Enthusiast
