Tart apple, lemon curd, hay, slate, white peach and hints of tropical fruit. Great acidity and balance.

No oak. Very fruit forward and residual sweetness. Not my jam.

To describe this as a warm weather gulper is to discount the fact that this is a damn serious wine. Super green on the nose, but still some toast (but obviously zero wood). It has a blast of ghee in it, along with some mulberries. Oregon is making me happy.

Clean clear bright stainless Chardonnay. Not super interesting, but absolutely great on a warm Oregon summer night.
