Very waxy on open. Traditional malo notes and oak coming through. Would have liked a bit more acidity to brighten it up — 24 days 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 — 3 years ago

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. — 5 years ago

This was the original wine that taught me what Chardonnay was capable of, and this one, with 8 years of aging still impressed. My friend Eric said it best, “it’s a schizophrenic wine”, the nose is wild and natural, super funky malo, with incredible tartness and yellow citrus, like an underripe pineapple and musty funk. The palate though on this slightly opaque, pale golden liquid is very different. Lemon curd, baked silky citrus explosion, with a woody, forest floor, and mineral like spine that rolls right down the middle, and ends with a surprisingly chalky and stony finish. Such a special site for wine, elevated by the measured hand of a veteran winemaker. @Chris Brockway — 4 months ago

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 — 3 years ago

Almost flawless and absolutely at its peak. The oak and the malo conversion is perfectly executed. — 3 years ago
