The 2016 Gran Moraine Chardonnay was barrel fermented with just 17% new oak, the remainder neutral. Creamy, with a round texture and mouthfeel, this wine has notes of ripe golden apple and Asian pear fruit.
"This offers a fresh and more fruit-focused impression with a supple and neatly arranged core of flavorful, succulent peach to close. Neat, fresh and drinkable style here." 90 Points, James Suckling
17% new oak softens out the palate of this Yamhill-Carlton Chardonnay while preserving a nice kiss of acidity. The 2016 vintage delivers ripe golden apple and Asian pear fruit.
The 2017 Auxerrois from Zenith Vineyards in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA is bright, crisp and spunky. Notes of Asian pear, star anise and hints of Asian spices are supported by formidable structure and elevated by vibrant acidity.
