Country of Origin: France
Appellation: Pay d'Herault

Domaine Lafage Novellum Chardonnay 2014

92
Domaine Lafage Novellum
Varietal: Chardonnay
Vintage: 2014
Country of Origin: France
Appellation: IGP Cotes Catalanes
Retail Price: $12.99

Tasting Notes: The best value in Chardonnay you can find. Aging on Viognier lees gives this wine body without the use of oak, so it meets the well-balanced look that touches every side of Chardonnay drinkers. It is near impossible to find value in Chardonnay that is not one-noted, and Novellum Chardonnay’s complex fruit and mineral tinged flavors keep it away from that. To boot, you are drinking Chardonnay from Roussillon, France, which is an anomaly in its own right. This wine delivers each vintage and the 2014 is no slouch.

Willamette Valley Vineyards Riesling 2014

92
Willamette Valley Vineyards
Varietal: Riesling
Vintage: 2014
Country of Origin: Oregon
Appellation: Willamette Valley
Retail Price: $15

Tasting Notes: Oregon is not where you would typically expect to find Riesling of this outstanding quality. The aromas of sweet, ripe nectarine, Anjou pears, wild flowers and honeysuckle lead you to believe this will be a sweet wine. But as the wine dances across the palate, the complex flavors and the focused acidity takes over. Completing the experience is the long, lingering finish.
