Stoller Family Estate
Reserve Dundee Hills Chardonnay
Dundee Hills, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
One of the better chards I've had. If big butter and heavy Oak emphasis is a priority for you, keep searching. This is very floral...lots of crushed flower petals with a good body. Silky.

Dec 10th, 2016Beautiful, as are all of Stoller's wines, but young. I feel will benefit from just a little more time in bottle. I reviewed the 2013 Reserve Chardonnay and preferred it slightly over the 2014. Even so, 2014 offers layers of sensory charm and is laden with just-picked peaches and pear tartan, topped off with a whiff of caramel and vanilla. On the palate, it's round and welcoming—peaches and cream followed by a subtle burst of lemon zest, dried pineapple, apricot and baking spice. Sample
