A nice Chardonnay with a definite presence of oak barrel. I thought it was just ok.

Wow, very surprising level of quality in the bottle. Vears towards an old world expression. Very focused palate, a little clove-y barrel nuance. Really, really, really, nice.

Nicely balanced: lemon, crisp to start that develops into nutty finish. Subtle malolactic creaminess, no oak. Great with pesto.

Delicious. Buttery. Oaky. Slight herby bite. But it works.

Solid all around. Made in the modern style, acid could be better. Generally underwhelming for the price.

A fabulous Chardonnay. Has not gone through the malolactic fermentation, and it has wonderful crisp citrus and pear flavors. Well balanced and smooth.

Oregon & Washington Tasting 11 March 2016 Stockholm; 3/12/2016-3/14/2016 (Munchenbryggeriet, Stockholm) : Has quite a body, I believe it has a lot of oak, undergone full mall, but still a fresh wine. Recommended

Clones 77/76. 20 months in neutral oak. Substantial nose for OR Chard, not too delicate. Lots of Circus peanut to the palate. Very nice acid and just a touch of phenolic extract on the palate. Quite an interesting Chardonnay. Shows lots of character on the palate, round and soft, with with fresh acid. Further inspection is needed.

One of the best Chardonnays out there in my opinion - no butter. Perfect balance of oak with a velvety mouth feel. Outstanding nose and really spectacular finish.

Very much a new world Chardonnay with tropical fruit and plenty of new oak on the palate. I don't believe this was aged in American oak barrels, but if it were, I wouldn't be surprised. Good, but not great.

Very pleasant. Lots of lemon throughout, balanced with some creaminess and a hint of oak. Nice long finish.

Absolutely delicious! Juicy pear and citrus notes with very subtle hints of spice and vanilla.
