Lange Estate Winery and Vineyards Willamette Valley 2019 Chardonnay (Oregon), $21.24-$24.99, 89 points, was a light burnished brass color and graying midway towards the glass rim.
Aromas of dusty Clementine peel, hints of pine needles, and Chardonnay specific grape were okay.
Lange began very much a Dr. Jeckel/Mr. Hyde Chardonnay: (cold) aromas began strongly Chardonnay specific grape, and the flavor was just off for me, but as this wine warmed, in tandem so did the flavors which were as stated in the aroma descriptors, but late palate blossomed with lemon notes and a lovely ginger in the finish along with a well-balanced 13.2% alcohol.
Acidity was good and the texture was typical for a Northwest medium-bodied Chardonnay.
Paired fine with my baked pork loin.
