Aromas of lemon curd leap from the glass, followed by gunflint, freshly cut herbs, and orange oil. On the palate, tropical flavors of mango and fresh lemon evolve into crisp pear and apple, with lingering notes of white flowers on the finish. The mid-palate is broad, expanding to fill the mouth, while a clean line of acidity carries through to a bright finish.

100% Chardonnay. A blend of Dijon clones from vineyards across the Willamette Valley, this wine best represents what cool-climate Chardonnay can do.

This wine was fermented and aged in 82% stainless steel, 9% concrete, and 9% neutral oak. The lees were stirred twice monthly until the palate filled out and harmonized.

Wine Enthusiast Review:
A not-quite-ripe pineapple aroma is accompanied by notes of chalkboard dust and chamomile. The wine's tart peach and sweet grilled pineapple flavors meld with a touch of saline and brisk acidity. Prepare to embrace the pucker with this excellent value. -M.A.
