Montrachet from Oregon? Yes! Terrific effort.

Bright medium yellow in color with aromas of lemon, green apple, and white flowers. The palate is driven by racy acidity and stony minerality. Combines fruit from predominantly Nekia soils in Salem’s Bunker Hill, Eola-Amity Hills including Lingua Franca Estate Vineyard, Yamhill-Carlton, and a small contribution from Laubejac Vineyard near Monmouth in Willakenzie soils. Very pleasant entry level wine. 13% ABV. $35.

Prefer French burgundies for lower price but complex and enjoyable

Love this!! Rather Meursault like! No surprise there! Better as it warms up. Comes into balance.

2019-09-07 Love it. $38. Crisp and mellow, not too acidic or citrusy, not oaky. Good minerality. Enjoying on its own, but also imagining pairing with tender grilled octopus, Barceloneta style. Yum!

Очень интересное, минеральное вино в стилистике бургундии, но более свежее и без хлебного тостового привкуса
