December 11, 2023 - Upon initial opening, the aroma and flavor were very almond-like. The palate showed some pithiness. But after decanting and chilling slightly, the almond note of oxidation subdued and blended into the fruity pithiness. Pretty interesting but suggest not waiting longer to open.
December 10, 2023 - Purchased 7 months ago at the winery.
Light golden color. Shy nose with aromas of apple and pear. Medium mouthfeel with flavors of citrus, stone and spice.
I agree with many of the previous tasters. This is a village Chablis in Oregon clothing. Great balanced acidity.
I’ll order more.
August 27, 2023 - I bought a few bottles of this wine at the winery and had them shipped.
Clear, light golden.
Graphite, steel and lime on the nose
All lime, lemon, limestone and nice final note of butterscotch.
Reminds me of a Chablis. Good with Tarragon chicken and asparagus.
April 23, 2022 - Not good. Looked fine (golden yellow), smelled like a sweet tart, but tasted almost like pine resin. Guessing it had been kept in poor storage conditions or exposed to heat.
August 10, 2021 - Showing well. Warm vintage but shows balance w nice acidity. Paired well with boiled lobster clarified butter on our anniversary. Lime, pineapple,pear and a fruit I can’t quite place. Nice weight (soft) and loved the mouthwatering acidity. Brilliant edges in the glass but dark yellow from the ripeness of the vintage.
September 12, 2020 - Started out disjointed but opened And became more balanced as we drank, oak overwhelmed fruit which is unusual for DDO, drank easily but i was thirsty, drank with fish tacos with cod and wahoo, last bottle, this vintage has been a disappointment.
August 4, 2020 - Good qpr. Tart, with Meyer lemon and citrus.
June 11, 2020 - Splendid! Drinking very well right now.
March 19, 2020 - Opened a bit musty before crisping up.
Green apple, mineral, crisp, pineapple, earth,
Good length on finish.
Well balanced acidity, went well with lemon garlic butter mahi mahi.

February 27, 2020 - Very intense flavors at this point: pairs, butterscotch, stony minerals. Well balanced with a long finish. This is gorgeous.
