Hamilton Russell Oregon ‘Maple Grove’ Chardonnay 2019

92 pts Wine Enthusiast March 2022

Smooth and toasty, with a buttery mouthfeel and a satiny finish. This is polished to a fine luster, blending apple and pear fruit with a creamy coating of, yes, butter. It’s a style with wide appeal, and the acidity supports it nicely, but don’t look for the sort of zippy citrus you’ll find in many high-end Oregon Chardonnays.
