  Drinking great, and my prediction back in 2019 to hold on to this for a few more years was spot on! A hint of oak showing in the vanilla tropicals towards mid palate paired with green apple and pear. Amazing QPR, especially when you think about another "value" producer who's Freedom Hill offerings sell for almost double! This wine tastes fresh and nicely integrated. Wish I had a lot more.

  Tried this four years ago and immediately thought this is one of St. Innocent's better Chardonnays. After four years in storage the wine has developed nicely. This is an absolute steal considering it was less that $20. I'm going to hold the rest for a couple more years to see what they do.

  I enjoy these Oregon Chardonnays that are not all butter and oak. Nice minerality with good tropical fruits on the palate. Very persistent on the palate and full bodied. Great balance and medium plus finish.

  Tropical fruit with some candied lemon peel. Good richness with enough structure on finish to keep this mostly bright. Better now than when tasted shortly after release.
