Slo-oxed for 10 minutes. A golden yellow color. The nose was reticent but did yield touches of oak and citrus. The medium to plus palate showed lots of lemon and oak spice, some stone fruit, and touches of minerality. The acidity was juicy and seemed to outrun the fruit. Not sure how this wine will hold. Overall, this wine was over-oaked and not the kind of Chardonnay that we prefer.

Medium golden yellow with glints of green. Aromas of lemon and butterscotch with hints of honey. Lemon and wet stone are evident on the palate leading to a long, mineral finish. Medium in body with good acid for Chardonnay and 13.3% alcohol. Sourced from a dry farmed estate vineyard on a south facing slope at 600-680 feet of elevation planted mostly to Dijon clones in Jory soil fermented and aged on the lees in French oak. Drinks like a white …

Drank like an over oaked California chard, lots of oak and butter. Decent fruit but really not my style and disappointing for a wine in this price range.

Oak dominated this light bodied chard. Citrus and minerality are on display. I'm sure this wine will improve with time but I can't imagine it has what it takes to live up to the price tag.

Had it at Mockingbird Bistro on Mother's Day. No formal tasting notes, but very enjoyable. Elegant, graceful, balanced, nice structure. Would definitely buy again.

One of my favorite U.S. chards! Nice blend of fruit, with buttery and toasty notes. Paired with jamon iberico de bellota wrapped shrimp, and some brie.

Complex bitterness and tartness on opening. Golden color, mild, fruity nose. Mild oak on nose and palate. Pre-dinner on its own definitely did not impress as much as last bottle. Thinner and without the mouthfeel I remember. Acidity predominates. Finish OK but not smooth.

enjoyed at the beach with Adora. A lightness, crisp, apricot without the oakiness. Very happy with it just ordered a case of the 08

Really lovely chard with solid apple and just a touch of oak and a great finish. Excellent with grilled calamari

Delicious! Excellent balance, acidity, and finish. Touch of oak, butter, superb fruit core. A very delicate wine, but in a good, good, way. I don't know if an Oregon chard can get better than this.

Retail tasting. Spicy, floral, citrusy nose. Creamy without being buttery. Great acidity -- I was surprised to find out this undergoes 100% malolactic fermentation. Very Burgundian in style. Plan to buy some in the future. 91+.
