Ready to get inox-uclated? If you're looking for a domestic chardonnay that won't break the bank, but that's also made in an Old World style, don't miss the 2007 Inox Chardonnay from Chehalem. The folks at Chehalem suppress malo on this tank-fermented chardonnay (Inox takes its name from the French word for stainless steel, inoxydable.), highlighting the full range of aromas and flavors of the Willamette Valley fruit. Pure and explosive aromatics redolent of late-summer/early fall farmers' market-stone fruit, citrus, melon, green apple and pear notes are grounded with earthy vanilla and spicy ginger. On the palate the tart, vibrant fruit is balanced by a shock of mineral. Bone dry and low in alcohol (13.4%), this is a wonderfully fresh white for your table or to sip as an aperitif. According to Wine Spectator: "Light and appealing for its gentle pear and peach fruit, lingering softly." (12/08)
