PnP, chilled. A clear bright straw-yellow in the glass. The nose showed lemon, lime and minerality. On to the medium to plus bodied palate (due to some lees contact) the lemon amplified, along with the lime, the minerality, some melon and touches of pineapple and herb. The acidity was fresh and there was just a hint of citrus pith on the finish. Could hold for several years. Overall, a quite likeable unoaked Chardonnay that is the result of blending fruit from some 20 vineyards across Oregon.

Fresh apple on the nose with a hint of lemon. On the palate, the apple is more dried, there's a sharp bitter component that mingles with a little hay, slate, and butter.

Retail $18. Under screw cap. A to Z makes a ton of wine and most (all?) of it is solid and all of it is affordable, to the point of causing at least a few to ponder why Oregon wine "needs" to be so expensive. Case in point. While this is certainly not the *best* Oregon Chardonnay I have tried (not even the best today), at 18 bucks it is a bargain. Good tropical and citrus fruit with plenty of tartness and body. Like I said, there are better Chards out there but few a better bargain than this.
