A New World Chardonnay approaching perfection this wine like all the 00 Chardonnay's goes through the ?Black Chardonnay? method coming from the very old Chehalem Mountain Vineyard site planted by Dick Erath in 1969 the third in the Willamette Valley to own rooted Wente Clone Chardonnay. It's beguilingly reductive in the aromatics as chipped flint smokiness layers on top of grilled pineapple laced with clover honey and candied ginger on the fringes. The palate is lithe lively and edgy as ocean brine frames ripe and full Meyer lemon pulp a gorgeous creaminess brightened by green mangoes and ripe grilled peach. Intense and complete.

This is so fragrant. Pralines sesame seeds wild herbs lemon tart and dried apples on the nose with lightly bitter green-tea and fennel flavors coming through on the palate. It?s caressing textural and creamy with beautiful integration. Minerally lightly nutty and salty all at the same time. From Wente clones. Matured for two years in barrels. Drink from 2026.

The 2022 Chardonnay Kathryn Hermann Cuvée is fantastically spicy offering layers of peach graham cracker matchstick and coriander seed on the nose. The medium-bodied palate has a luxuriously silky texture and highly concentrated spicy flavors. It?s balanced by vibrant acidity and has a long dynamic finish. Reviewed by: Erin Brooks 02/25
