| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.9 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 15 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by grafstrb on 3/20/2024: Continues to be absolutely delicious! Removed the Diam closure about an hour before tasting. Consistent with prior bottles. (851 views) | | | Tasted by Bjweiss on 3/2/2024 & rated 91 points: Like a great Chablis. The wine needs time to open up and gather air in order to show its best. Lemon lime mineral juice here. Texture is great. So well made, and such a profound value. (740 views) | | | Tasted by jviz on 11/19/2023 & rated 92 points: next taste about 18 months later and this continues to be really excellent. The qualitative gap between this wine and a Comtes Lafon Meursault and Dujac MSD 1ere on the table was relatively slim.
Generous fruit, no detectable oak but ever so slightly reductive in style, this wine has lots in the tank for years to come. Great winemaking (1012 views) | | | Tasted by Chrisinroch on 10/31/2023: really outstanding wine. lovely acidity (986 views) | | | Tasted by grafstrb on 9/21/2023: -- popped and poured --

NOSE: enjoyable, high-toned aromatics with papaya and banana dominating.
BODY: light golden yellow color; medium-light bodied. Diam5 closure.
TASTE: medium+ acidity; fuzzy mineral behind some present-but-taut Chardonnay fruit; comes across as ripe-restrained, and *not* a gloppy overripe oak bomb; fantastic QPR!; just a lovely medium-light Chardonnay that's much more mineral & steel than fruit & oak. 12.5% alc. not noticeable. So happy I bought a few of these. gut impression score: 90 - 92. (1027 views) | | | Tasted by sastewart on 8/8/2023 & rated 92 points: Decanted 45 minutes (it helped). White flowers, stone, and lemon on the nose along with some matchstick. Light to medium body with a great acid spine. Nice minerality on a moderately long finish. Still young with upside. Solid 92+ (871 views) | | | Tasted by Bagwhat on 7/31/2023 & rated 90 points: Bottled under Diam 5. Largely consistent with my note from 6 months ago: still slightly reduced and flinty, still with lively orchard fruit and a ringing line of acid. The finish is compact and linear but persistent, flinty, and almost salty. It is its own thing, but it’s not hard to squint and see Chablis here. (747 views) | | | Tasted by lucagiupponi on 7/8/2023: What a fantastic bottle of wine. (717 views) | | | Tasted by Bagwhat on 12/22/2022 & rated 90 points: Aromas open with lightly reduced swirls of crushed stone and white flower, crisp apple, lemon zest, cream. An herbal note emerges on the back, along with yellower, almost tropical fruit, along with the reduction giving an impression almost of a riesling. Palate is lively and light on its feet, but reveals nicely concentrated orchard fruit, a focused acid profile, and a good long finish that focuses on minerality balanced with some light cream. Astonishingly good value…
Perhaps to be expected, this sort of lost energy the third day. (1041 views) | | | Tasted by cct on 11/15/2022 & rated 92 points: Bright refreshing nose. Citrus and asian pear, jasmine, and a lovely stony sense. Seemingly light to midweighted, but with subtle structure and depth. Plenty of dry extract that comes across with a gentle touch. This has intensity without weight. finishes with cooling fresh herbal notes on the back end. A harmonious wine drinking really well right now with time in hand. A pretty seamless, delicious wine with an unreasonably high level of quality for the price. Outstanding. 92 (1238 views) | | | Tasted by Djfermentation on 8/4/2022 & rated 95 points: Absolutely beautiful Dundee Chardonnay. Loads of lemon, a tad of vanilla cream, and excellent acidity. (1281 views) | | | Tasted by grafstrb on 5/22/2022: -- popped and poured --
-- tasted non-blind over 3.5 hrs. on Day 1; revisited on Day 3 --
Reductive and banana/estery on the Nose on Day 1. Solid and straightforward on Day 1 - not as vibrant as the bottle from March (until Day 3, at which time the reduction was largely gone, and it had it feathers fanned-out). Awesome QPR, and one that smart buyers won't overlook in favor of the bottlings from specific vineyards/sites. (1173 views) | | | Tasted by tunaguy on 5/5/2022: a perennial favorite but this was painfully reduced even with 1.5 hour of air right now. Lots of matchstick on the nose with some hints of preserved citrus. A little more giving on the palate with some riper orchard fruits and honeysuckle. I still dug it in a nerdy way but a few years should turn this into more of a crowd pleaser with sneaky complexity. Glad i just ordered a some more (1303 views) | | | Tasted by jviz on 5/1/2022 & rated 93 points: Tasted at the winery. I thought this was marvelous. Lemons and cream, a hint of vanilla yogurt on the nose, light toast, we’ll balanced with fine cut. Very classic impression and among the top chardonnay competitors at this price point. (1296 views) | | | Tasted by grafstrb on 3/21/2022: -- decanted 30 min. before initial taste --
-- tasted non-blind over 2 to 3 hours --
NOSE: moderately expressive; clearly Chardonnay; green apple/Gala apple/papaya gummies mix.
BODY: medium-pale yellow color; medium-light to medium bodied.
TASTE: high acidity; good amount of dry extract; giving; mineral on the finish -- makes me think "slate"; going to have to buy this in magnum because hol-ee hell, is this delicious and moreish! Leans Burgundian, but perhaps a bit stronger on the fruit and lighter on the mineral; 12.5% alc. not noticeable, and it needs to be mentioned how incredible it is to have this much flavor, concentration, and ripeness at such a moderate abv. --- Bravo!! Gut impression score: 91 - 93. (1312 views) |
| Goodfellow Family Cellars Producer websiteChardonnay The Chardonnay GrapeUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.Oregon Oregon Wine, Oregon Wineries (Oregon Wine Board)Willamette Valley Willamette Valley Wineries Association | Willamette Valley (Oregon Wine Board)
