No formal notes, but similar to last year. Previously bright fruit continues to round out and recede, while secondary notes move more into the forefront.

This wine has clearly evolved over the past 18 months. The citrus and honey have softened and become more integrated. The nose has also picked up a slightly petrol note. The energetic acidity is right there on entry and it seems the texture has rounded. This creates a textural juxtaposition that is interesting rather than disjointed. The finish is longer and is driven mostly by the acid. I think this will continue to get gain complexity, and I'm going to try to save a bottle for 5+ years just to see what happens.

Taken more of a lemon custard note from the last bottle. The citrus notes are soft but the acidity is great. The are also some nice green and red apple notes. Great bottle of wine.

Stunning blend of acidity and fruit with solid gripiness and fruit. Consistently one of Oregon's top chards at a great price. Tons of yellow and some apple fruits with a crispness that astounds. Great wine with grilled salmon and shrimp risotto cuisine & friends

Always solid for modest price Oregon Chard.
