Reserve Stoller Vineyard Ian's Chardonnay

Not quite Burgundian. Not quite cool climate Californian. This is Oregon Chardonnay and as good as any anywhere. Bottle age benefits the finer ones.

Claude Gillet luncheon in Dundee - very nice floral aromatics, balanced, with a bit of a fall off on the finish. Like it!

La surprise. Originalement 39$, soldé à 19$. Coup de circuit. Superbe chardo de climat frais au boisé subtil. Vive l'Orégon!

I really wonder what the oak notes would have done with a cork. Can hold a bit, I wonder if the mushroom notes will come to the fore...
