Wow what a beautiful wine. Dark ruby in colour. Notes of cassis, herbal notes, and dark chocolate. Nice acidity, med body, smooth tannins. 12 years old and still so youthful. I wish I had more bottles.

I am loving Oregon Chardonnays. Not a surprise given the Pinot from Oregon. But they always seem to fly under the radar. I have always been a fan of Cristom so figure this was a good place to start. Clear light green in colour. Notes of lemon, floral, and some apple. Great acidity, nice mouthfeel. Very Burgundian in style. Can't wait to try more from Oregon.
