Richard's Cuvée Willamette Valley Chardonnay

Great texture.

Smoky pear and flint aromas, great balance of earth/flint, tart acids, rich fruit and vanilla. Oak has a cameo role.

Struck match, white flowers, lemon-lime, med body, long finish, spectacular QPR⚡️🍋😍

Flinty, orchard fruit, dry extract, med + acidity, long and complex ⚡️😍

First time with this bottling. Puligny-like with citrus, pear, white flower aromas framed with nice acidity/tension. Finish improved over time. Marcus crafts some very tasty CH!

This Chardonnay consistently delivers with its unique petro overlay which is a marker of nose and palette that I enjoy and appreciate when a winemaker goes in this direction. Lovely wine in its character and charm!

Flinty, struck match, citrus and pear 🤩

Pale straw color. Nose has some hints of diesel and minerals. Crisp, light palate.

Big matchstick reduction. Which is actually pretty delicious. Maybe a bit slutty. But I like it.

Bright, lively, and refreshing. Definitely orchard fruit driven.
