Wonderful. Unsurprisingly burgundian. Prominent matchstick on the nose with sharp citrus. Med. body with citrus zest, minerality, and an interesting flavor of honeyed cherry. I often find this in good BdB brut. Long finish.

Although I think this has maybe hit a “phase” or its past peak(I doubt it). Something is just a bit off on this one. Still the lean style however a touch austere even for this bottling. Day three still hanging on, maybe even improved a bit.

Brilliant light gold in the glass, very subdued nose of faint apple aroma. Lightweight mouthfeel with vibrant acidity. Absolutely no bitterness on thr back end with a touch of caramel and vanilla on thr palate. Just wish it was a bit more full bodied but very well done nonetheless

Drank at the Rossi party. Pleasant light to medium-bodied chard, with fair acidity level. Not noticeably oaky or sweet, and not particularly complex but a nice enough pour

Taste with Mo Ayoub at his house on solo Oregon Trip. Fresh nose. Lemon zest, touches of minerals. Barrel with some stainless. Lovely example of elegant Oregon Chardonnay.

A truly unique experience unlike any Chardonnay I have tasted before. As crisp as it is buttery. You get the full fruit without the oak or mallow that overpowers other Chards. You need to experience this.

Excellent! Very Burgundian, and this 2014 is still showing plenty of ability to age for several more years. Not a hint of oxidation, yet.

The perfect Chardonnay. One of my favorites and rivals any California Chard.

Slightly flabby though Brian suspects its a vintage related issue. Butterscotch without the requisite acidity. Not my thing.

Very nice chardonnay for a unseasonably warm winter day.
