Omero Cellars
Willamette Valley Chardonnay
Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Can’t believe I drank through all of these so quickly, but then again, I can. Craft Wine Co is just 👌. The Omero chardonnay is a great entry level wine that also offers complexity and depth. Pale golden hues give way to lemon peel, bruised pineapple, yellow pears and with mineral undertones. Has a nice creamy texture and good amount of medium acidity. Nice lengthy finish.

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this evening with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our guest conductor, and violin soloist, Leonidas Kavakos is leading an BEETHOVEN (Violin Concerto in D, Opus 61) and then concluding with DVOŘÁK (Symphony No. 7 in D minor, Opus 70). It is a rare treat to have a combination conductor/soloist leading the Orchestra, only the second time I can recall in about 12 years of attendance. The other instance was with Anne-Sophie Mutter, also a violinist, a few years ago now.
Nose has cut yellow apple, bag full of lemons, light vanilla, light oak and limestone paste.
Palate has cold butter, sugared lemon, lemon pith, quince, yellow cherry and creamy oak lingers on the medium-long finish.
Quite Chablis-like, except the touch of wood notes are a little heavier, but the caveat, this wine is very young, likely drinking great 2021-23.
24 Hour Update: Oak has subsided, just a great bottle today.

As close to 1979 Eyrie Chardonnay as I’m likely to get these days. Unfiltered and not cold stabilized, so it’s full of leesy crunge...yet quite clean and correct. Pronounced, almost Mélon-like salinity, too. Exceptional.

Not quite my usual speed for Chardonnay, but another super Chad Stock concoction. Semolina flavors drive it, and the wood from the barrique is clear.
