  Wow. The range on this wine here on Cellar Tracker is from 96 way down to 61 (Sixty-flipping-one? Are you kidding me?). I bought this nearly a decade ago when I was out in the Willamette Valley for the International Pinot Noir Celebration. The winery is owned and operated by the Drouhin family of Burgundy fame, and this Chardonnay certainly does that heritage proud. A decided golden color with more tropical than citrus notes, hints of oak, and a touch of vanilla. While this wine almost assuredly saw some wood, it is delightfully balanced with the fruit. Coupled with a zingy (yet balanced) acidity, this is simply marvelous. Well Done. thedrunkencyclist.com

  Interesting mix of new and old world styles. More fruity than Chablis but much more austere than a warmer climate Chardonnay. High acids, almost no nose, dried banana on the finish? Not sure what it wants to be.

  Very elegant and as others have mentioned, reminicent of Chablis. Hints of honeysuckle and stone fruit. Nice acidity.
