Smells like a gümmi party, initially. Powdered inner tube. Subsides later to become a bit tropical, but still that touch of Vulcan. Really does keep it interesting. Python-like taper into a bulbous, creamy fat-ball of lemon coated young coconut but still with a stony, almost sun-bleached coral center. Found this one different than most offerings, walking the line between styles, but leaning towards natural. Don't mistake me, there is definitely malo-tasticness taking place, but there is a big backbone of acidity to hang it on.

Chardonnay 2011 Wilamette Valley - lemony, seashell nose with nice minerals, but holding something back. Pine note as well. Great acidity on the palate, palate cleansing actually, with nice balance but a touch of acrid disjointed flavors on the back upon opening which I am sure will integrate with time. Will check back throughout day.

A perfect example of why Oregon is steadfastly becoming world renowned for Chardonnay. Gorgeous star fruit, honeysuckle, orange blossom and spice on the nose. Extremely well balanced and lush on the palate. Absolutely alluring, one sip will never be enough as it coats the palate with juicy goodness. A truly beautiful Chardonnay.
