Too weary to write proper notes. To my mind, one of the greatest producers in Oregon.

I think Ken is making some of the best domestic Chardonnay, possibly one of the best in the NW. The wines have always been about freshness, purity, and tension, but the level of balance and detail continues forward. This “entry” level proves it, and like any great Burgundy domain’s Bourgogne level wine, the level of care and detail here reflect the wider scope of his wines. I would argue that this wine would smoke just about most white burgundy in its price point and even above.

Not blown away at first but came together a bit with some air...good balance of tart citrus, fragrant pit fruit and just a dollop of buttery richness. Plenty of freshness to warrant holding off a year or two to let things harmonize a bit
