Fuhk, still super fresh with lovely arc of acidity coursing through creamy, yet clean, meyer lemon, white peaches, and on and on. Well done Tyson!

Pale straw. Yellow delicious apple, apricot, damp stone, yeast, brioche, saline, acacia, white flowers, and honey. Medium plus body, medium acid, smooth and long finish. Wente clone on soft rocky soil. Large barrel. Burgundian.

Damn down to 2 bottles after this one. Stunning and only getting better. The first bottling of Four Winds Chardonnay. So bright and full of that lemon lime zip but nose and palate so full of deep flavors from extended time on the lees and full oxydative style Chardonnay produces wine that at its base ages better and holds real terroir. This bottling shows why you make this style of wine.

Lovely, wide open and bright, great texture and presence on the palate.

Good complexity and long finish...lots of notes of exotic citrus fruits, minerals and some butterscotch

Tried both the 12 and the 13 during Oregon Chard weekend. Both blew me away with their tingly salinity/brine/freshness. Top 5 OR Chards fo sho.

Apricot and melon with a hint of wood and butter on the nose. Palate is glorious with acid and fruit sizzling before softening to a funky buttery finish that actually lengthens and balances the finish. It lasts and lasts but not forever and that's what I want cus Tyson made this one into a superhero that could rescue my tastebuds from boredom every day!!

Fine intensity and complexity with an interesting citrus and tropical fruit profile. Balanced with bright acidity on palate. Missing tension and depth though. Med finish. #crowley #chardonnay #willamette #oregon #usa #ctbucklinwine

Malo is slightly more aggressive than I was ready for, but otherwise a linear, savory, bright and well-made bottle of vino.
