title: Phelps Creek 2007 Unoaked Chardonnay (Columbia Gorge (OR))
description: Searingly tart, this might be a 2007 Muscadet for its thrilling, stiletto-steel spine and leesy minerality. Simply calling it unoaked does not begin to do justice to the complexity and textural density that this unusual Oregon Chardonnay offers. For acid lovers who don't think that Chardonnay must be slathered in toasty new wood in order to have any flavor, this wine will be a joy.
variety: Chardonnay
designation: Unoaked
