2018 00 Wines Chardonnay EGW, Willamette Valley

This shows a very complete and complex style with a spectrum of very pure yellow citrus fruit to peach and pastry, as well as more savory, stony notes. The palate has convincing concentration and a fleshy build that carries ripe peachy flavors, as well as citrus. The oak is so well integrated. Drink over the next six years.

Riper and even juicier than the 2017 vintage, this retains the same creamy richness, with amped up fruit that runs from pear to peach to apricot and papaya. A blend of Wente and Dijon clones from two different vineyards, this incorporates luscious barrel flavors of caramel and toffee, with a lick of mocha trailing out the finish.

The 2018 Chardonnay EGW comes from both Eola-Amity Hills and Chehalem Mountain fruit. The nose has a toasty, flinty perfume, with notions of salted almonds, beeswax and white blossoms. The medium-bodied palate is silky and gently textural, with bright juiciness and slowly expanding savory flavors, and it finishes long and minerally. 338 cases produced
