Divio, Chardonnay, Willamette Valley

Pale gold color, pronounced aromas of lemon and wet stone, with brown butter, baked yellow apple. High acid, baked apple with lemon juice squeeze, unripe stone fruit, much fresher and lifting on the palate, more secondary notes on the nose. High complexity. Long finish. Medium body. Excellent overall

Galaxy Wine Company's Grand Tasting (Castaway, Portland OR) : The nose is fresh and balanced with tones of peaches, apples, pears, white fruits, limes, and some lemon meringue. There is good balance, but this does lack some depth and complexity that would add an extra layer to it. The Medium bodied feel is balanced and deft with crisp, medium+ acidity that nicely persists. This is a nice and balanced Chardonnay, but it really doesn’t do much past that.

Sublime dry complex.

The Chardonnay apparently escaped the perils of the smoke and fire in Oregon. This is an excellent example my oppinion matches primier cru Mersault. Day 1 a bit disjointed shows the acidity finishing with oak. Day 2 is a reflection of the score. Deep wine. Smooth velvety texture well balanced with acidity. Flavors of lemon, cream, hazelnut, long finish. I found these improve with age I would wait at least a year I see it getting better and should come …

Lovely and solid Chardonnay. Well balanced. Light oak. No butter

Well, if it's any indication of our thoughts, upon taking the first few sips we went and bought a few more bottles. Incredible. Pale gold in color. Aromas of creme brulee, hazelnut, baked pear. Depth of flavor is simply outstanding. Starts off with herbal and lemon zest notes, followed by baked fruit, and ending with caramel and honey at the back end and through the finish. Long finish, medium body. Wonderful.

we thought this one had some notes of grapefruit and toasty caramel/butterscotch. We drank it at the same time as the 2019 so it was nice to compare the two vintages.

This is an outstanding wine. Huge depth of flavor and length. This wine is not in your face but has an elegance throughout. Drank next to a Meursault which is an apt comparison. probably could be better in another year or 2.

Flawless. The best Chardonnay I’ve ever tasted.
