Oregon

Hey, we are as picky about Oregon Pinot Blanc as we are about everything else. Yes, it is crisp, bright, and fresh, as they are expected to be. The surprise here was that there was fruit (apple, pear, citrus), texture, and some character as well. It is a small thing that makes a huge difference within the category. It's not a genre that typically moves us. Suffice it to say it's a big deal for us to actually talk about it. Can't remember the last time that happened. This one should make some friends.  As a bonus, it's also priced as an everyday go-to ($16.98).

98 Points! The 2019 Chardonnay The Eyrie, matured in just 11.5% new oak, is expressive and singular, offering an alluring dynamic of ripe, spicy fruit and savory bass tones. A core of baked apple fruit is accented by scents of mushroom powder, flint, fallen leaves and cinnamon on the nose, shifting continually as it spends time in the glass. The medium-bodied palate is incredibly concentrated yet boasts focused acidity that drives its generous flavors into a long, flinty finish. - Erin Brooks, robertparker.com

95 Points! This wine from an exceptional site displays lush flavors across the black fruit spectrum. The tannins have a lightly grainy texture, with aging in 10% new French oak lending a wash of toast and coffee grounds. This muscular wine has the stuffing to age and the power to stand up to heavier stews and meaty entrées. - Wine Enthusiast

Classy Chardonnay for the price! From the winery: The 2020 Willamette Valley Chardonnay is a blend from several of the region’s best vineyards and thus provides complex aromas and flavor.

Bright acidity and subtle minerality mesh with fresh fruit notes of white peach and Meyer Lemon to provide a complete and balanced palate.

94 Points! Bright straw-yellow. Aromas of ripe citrus and orchard fruits, iodine, brioche and jasmine are joined by a leesy nuance that emerges with air. Sappy and expansive in the mouth, offering intense Meyer lemon, pear nectar, pineapple and buttered toast flavors that turn spicier on the back half. Powerful and concentrated yet lively as well, finishing very long and chewy, with lingering floral and mineral flourishes. - Josh Raynolds, Vinous Media Learn More
