Even though it is oaked, it doesn’t present as such. Citrus, funk, minerality. Bitey when opened, but mellowed out through the evening. We really enjoyed this with salmon and a dill cream sauce.

Day 2 notes: Pours a medium lemon in the glass, med + intensity, developing aromas of lemon custard, lemon (oil & zest), egg (sulfur??), vanilla, unripe pineapple, green & yellow apples, wet rocks, hay, orchard blossom, toast. Dry wine, med + acid, medium body, medium alcohol, med palate intensity, medium finish. Overall, possible fault/off bottle. I couldn't shake the sulfur-eggy aromas and flavors- dunno if that's an off bottle, or sulfur taint. I'd be surprised for sulfer considering how 100 Suns operates. Oh well, oh darn, guess I gotta try another bottle of 100 Suns.../s

BerserkerDay Auditions with Adam and Jason (West Seattle, WA, USA): Nice glow in the glass. Flinty and lightly reductive. This opens up with brisk acidity although is quite austere and locked up at first. With patience, this does yield a bit and moves from clean and linear to more creamy and open. What is lacks in overall excitement and intensity it makes up for with a classic, clean, unadulterated expression of Oregon Chardonnay.
