A bit of a harsh and astringent kerosene or petroleum smell. Tart/sweet pears, apple, lemon with some minerality and hints of oak. Very clean and fresh, not quite sure where the "plasticy" taste is coming from but it's not bad and adds to the character. Very great Chardonnay!

Nice balance of fruit and oak. Tangy nose, silky finish. Paired well with lamb pot pie.

Toasted pecan, minerality, acidic funk. Complex and challenges the palette in an exciting way.

Wrapping up the Oregon binge/theme, this was a much better wine 3-4 years ago, so it is either fading or shutting down to evolve to the next phase. A lot of its Chablis-like character is muted in terms of the tartness and minerality. And depth and length have regressed...still a fine Chard, but not the standout WS once pined over. Still very smooth with great texture; predominant lemon/lime palate with minor oakiness. Drink up if you have any.
