Tasting notes
Bright straw-yellow. A highly expressive bouquet evokes mineral-accented pear, pineapple, orange zest and jasmine, along with a deeper frisson of honey. Energetic, sharply focused citrus and orchard fruit flavors stain the palate while showing zero fat. A suave floral nuance emerges steadily as the wine opens up, along with hints of smoky minerals and toasted brioche. Impressively concentrated yet lively as well. The strikingly long, focused finish features lingering floral and mineral notes. This bottling is consistently among Oregon's most impressive Chardonnays.

Some complex and spicy notes, across ripe peaches and lemons. The palate has a smoothly juicy and pithy feel. Dry, grapefruit and lemon flavors hold a long, fresh finish. Drink now.
