2021 Willamette Valley Chardonnay
A youthful expression from a ripe and opulent vintage. Zippy aromatics of marzipan, lemon peel, and Bosc pear. The palate is deeply concentrated, with a mouth-watering acidity that carries through the finish. This wine shines in its youth, ready to drink and enjoy now.
93 points James Suckling
Plenty of apple and pear aromas with hints of honey and ginger. Caramel. Medium body with pretty fruit and a light caramel finish. Nice presence and length.
