  As good as it gets really in chardonnay from Oregon. What a great bottle. As mentioned previously, there have been some oxidized examples as I had one that was flat and blowsy a couple years ago... but this one is a stiunner. Old world. Fantastic length and a middle palate of energy and balance. Nothing over the top here. Dynamic and delicious. Got one more for a future meal.

  Another wonderful bottle of this wine. Crisp, multifaceted, lots of apple, pear, citrus and tropical notes throughout the nose and the palate. Very long finish. Impeccably balanced. Broad across your mouth with great texture. Thoroughly enjoyable and in a great place now, possibly at peak but showing no real oxidation or deterioration.

  Really loved this wine…Served blind, I would have guessed 1er Cru Chablis. Bright acidity, huge chalky minerals, light sweet florals, ever so slight smokiness, then lots of pear, peach and apricot followed by lemon zest on the finish. Really complex old world style wine. It was gorgeous with grilled Cobia and a pineapple, nectarine salsa. Love it. Should last at least 15 years in a good cellar.
