Wilmer Vineyard Twenty Mile Bench VQA Chardonnay 2022
An epic Chardonnay. On the nose - peach, honeysuckle, almond. On the palate - like peach & almond pastry or crème brûlée. Honey, white florals, peach & almond. Incredibly balanced acidity and minerality. Power and elegance in one package. Took a while to open up. — 5 months ago

Staking Claim Chehalem Mountains Chardonnay 2018
White florals, citrus, wet slate on the nose. Palate has lemon, grapefruit, almond. Is quite tight in range, has nice acidity and minerality. Oak is very well integrated. Comes across as a well-made wine but has less primary fruit character needed to take the complexity to the next level. Leans to Burgundy in style vs California. Would like to try another vintage from this winemaker to see the variation I from year-to-year. — 5 months ago
