This is a single-vineyard expression from what may be considered the epicenter for great Oregon Chardonnay. It's poised on a gustatory balance bar perfectly positioned between fruit, acid and barrel flavors. Barrel fermented and aged (one third new), its polished flavors mix lemon custard, puréed pears, green apples, apple-pie spices and a hint of caramel. It's full through the palate and out a lingering finish.
