Excellent value for $$. No malo. Crisp and fresh. Lemony and minerally. — 2 months ago

Chablis-like restraint in a very good way. Nose is tense, citrus and lots of limestone, an almost reductive floral nose and a touch of silky softness to balance. Acidity is high but not crazy, strange considering the house style is supposedly to inhibit all malo. Great stuff, I want to drink lots of it — 2 years ago

9.1

Medium gold in the glass. Reticent nose, round malo richness on the palate. Ripe pear and sweet red apple notes.., just enough acid to keep in interesting. Riper that I usually expect from Oregon at 14.2... this is no Chablis! Wine works well with food , but more reminiscent of Sonoma than Willamette. — 4 years ago

What a joy to drink this 9 year old Marlborough Chardonnay in a near perfect spot with little sign of age. This is so bright, fresh, vibrant but carries a depth that I didn’t expect from this region.

Complex palate with white peony, pepper, lemon, grapefruit and mouth watering acidity. The finish is so, so long and couldn’t be more buttery. Like, minutes later buttery. Could this be barrel age, could it be malo fermentation - not sure. But I love it. — 4 years ago

Almost flawless and absolutely at its peak. The oak and the malo conversion is perfectly executed. — 2 years ago

Pale straw, saline, osyter shel, lees, kefir lime, candied green apple, mushroom, used oak, full malo, 11 months in barrel, whole cluster no destemming so that quick extraction of must. Creamy and round on the palate. Med acid, med+ body, intensity, and length. — 4 years ago

Crisp and tart. Nice malo crispness. Still fresh for V19 — 2 years ago

9.2

Has evolved splendidly—rich and slightly unctuous, lemon curd, wet stones, judicious toasty hazelnut and vanilla, but the blocked-malo style gives it plenty of zip — 2 years ago
