Having previously written about the Pinot Noir, it was great to get a chance to taste their Chardonnay which I liked even better. Factor in the reasonable price, and this is a wine everyone should be drinking. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is classic Oregon Chardonnay to me, somewhere between Burgundy and California. Aromas of lemon crème, minerality, slight salinity, and just a hint of fresh herbs. Medium to full bodied. Great balance and acidity. On the palate, this has depth and some complexity already, yet drinks very easily. Flavors of lemons, lemon crème, and slight herbal notes with a bit of minerality underneath. Long finish. This is drinking well now and should drink well for the next eight to twelve years.
