Bright brassy gold. Lemon and oak nose. Smooth, nice complexity, hint of butter and vanilla, but primarily bitter lemon and sweet grapefruit. Well integrated oak. Long finish. Excellent!

Mmm! Rich, complex, with a nice dry finish. Assuming this is slightly oaked. My palette isn't super sophisticated, so the exact words escape me, but I'm getting tart apples, a little grass, maybe a little lemon curd? Lovely.

About as perfectly balanced chardonnay as you can get. Hints of oak, butter, lemon, butterscotch, grapefruit, subtle alcohol (13.5%), nice acidity and a great finish. Wife says a little too creamy but I love it.

Clean and crisp. Light to medium body. A delight to sip on a warm summer night.

Lovely wine. Bright pear, honeysuckle and just the right amount of oak. Drinking very well right now. Consumed over several small plates of delicious fish at Fin Restaurant in PDX. Shame it was my last bottle.
