This is a project from the owners of Domaine Serene in Oregon. Light green/gold in color. The nose is chalky with slight vanilla and slight lemons. On the palate, this is a big and fruity Chardonnay. Quite tasty. Lemony with a slightly sweet-tart candied note which is nice. Big and long finish. Perhaps a bit atypical for the vintage but a very nice wine that would go with a wide variety of lighter and medium weight foods.
Light golden in color. The nose is very nice. Lemons, slightly candied, a bit of vanilla, and slight spice. On the palate, this has a creamy texture. Good not great acidity. Slightly oily texture. The lemon candy come thru nicely. A bit of oak too on the palate, but mostly integrated at this point. Good finish. Worked well with lighter foods. Seems to still be maturing but getting close to peak. No hurry has a decade or more to go.
Light golden in color. The nose has some lemons, a bit of hay but a touch of oxidation as well. Not too much though. On the palate, the lemons carry thru with nice acidity. Slightly candied on the finish. This kept improving all night with air and the bit of oxidation seemed less obvious as other elements were more present. Nice finish. This worked quite well with a funghi pizza. It may improve a bit with more storage, but it seems like it should be drunk sooner than later at this point. Of course, one always worries with oxidation and white Burgundies.
Golden green in color, clear and bright. Great nose with lemon/lime and a slight chalk note. Medium bodied with crisp acidity. On the palate, this has some depth. Grapefruit along with a touch of chalkiness. Nice finish. This drinks very easily on its own and works well with lighter foods, or seafood. A nice wine with lobster. Drink over the next seven to ten years.
Golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has some oak, its a bit tinny along with some nice lemon chiffon. On the palate, lemon tart with some confectionery sugar. Slightly oily texture. Soft. Some depth. Long finish. This retails for around $70 and that is the question. Is it worth it. A very nice wine to be sure, but it would seem there are plenty of Chardonnay's at this quality level for less money. It is reasonably food friendly. Of course, the other issue with white Burgundies is whether they will age or will oxidize prematurely. Caveat Emptor.
