Willamette Valley Chardonnay

Beautiful on the nose. Lots of aroma. Floral tones. Very good.

Freshly open I get steely notes of herbs and hay. A little reductive but in a good way. Pleasant on the palate and fairly restrained.

Super excited by this Chardonnay. Just bottles in February and it's already a stunner. Beautiful aromas of lemon, curd, spice. Palate is has a wonderful slightly creamy texture and balanced with good acidity and bright lift.

Dangerous with how drinkable it is now. Need a case to hide away for sure.

Citrus and mineral, wide open and generous.

Chablis-style Chardonnay but disappointing. My bottle was thin with too much alcohol. Great Chablis nose of green apple. But the palette was watery and alcoholic, although some slight apple and pear flavor was perceptible.

Pale straw color. Shy aroma of lemon rind. Tree fruit on the palate. Oak well in balance. Elegant, crisp and good mineral structure. Average relative value.

I am not a Chardonnay lover but this is so good! Oregon chards just tend to be less oaky and a little stonier. This one’s a keeper!!

Apple and slight oak…a great combo in this Chardonnay. Hard to beat Ribbon Ridge.

Revisiting after 13 months. Still beautiful. Gorgeous color, lovely nose, lovely mouth feel, and complex palate of honeysuckle and orchard fruit.

Friday night virtual tasting - starting off with a bang! Toasty and lemony.
