This is a striking new-wave style of Oregon chardonnay. Fragrant toast butter and flint aromas lead to a taut nervy palate of lemon zest lime pith green apple nutmeg and vanilla bean flavors on racy acidity. Medium-bodied nicely fresh and linear in terms of acidity. Drinkable now but best from 2028. Reviewed by: Jim Gordon Executive Editor

The 00 Chardonnay is made with a heavy pressing and allowed to oxidise before fermentation an old Burgundian method from the last century referred to as Black Chardonnay. The wines then sit with the heavy lees in the barrel with no battonage. It creates a rich texture and structure that makes for an ageable Chardonnay. The 00 Chardonnays really shine in this bottling. The Richard Hermann Cuvée reveals an impressive bouquet of beeswax and honey that revels in rich lemon curd and a light airy note of lemongrass and gunsmoke. The palate shows excellent clarity with piquant notes of salted lemon wedge that cut through sweet peach candies chipped flint minerality and green mangoes.
