2014 X-Novo Chardonnay. Tasted this wine several times over the past 4 weeks. Precise, aromatically intense classic cool climate Chardonnay with well balanced oak. Ripe Citrus Fruit & Blossom, fresh Pineapple, slight Malted Cereal character. This is the real deal Oregon Chardonnay, and a good value alternative to the delicious Bergstrom or Walter Scott wines.

Easily one of my favorite Chardonnays. It’s been nearly a year since the last one and it’s still terrific. Cold night, fireplace, chicken corn chowder...yum!

Soft nose of oak and wet stone. Medium body, mildly dry, mildly acidic. Apple and vanilla on palate. Terrific wine!

Lovely Chardonnay. Apple and light toasty oak on nose. Crisp, light palate. Apple, hint of lemon zest. Outstanding!

Tropics fruits like pineapple, mandarins orange, vanilla and a clean finish. #sommcon
