Add it to the all-time greatest hits of Oregon… album. White Room by Cream. Sensual Côte de Nuits bliss, salinity, plush red fruit, hints of toasted oak, and cherry cola too. Over time, fresh cut strawberries and raspberry coulis on the nose… pairing with light tannins. Forest detritus after a cloudburst, damp potting soil right out of the Scotts bag, and a sprinkle of shaved dark chocolate. A tension — a second grade field day tug-of-war — of fruit and earth.

A delicate and dusty dance of chalk. Wet pebbles after a summer rain. Eventually, just barely, stone fruit poking out. I get apricot. Maddy says maybe. Then must and smoke, a touch of an astringent aftertaste in the throat. Sadly, felt closed, so we’ll revisit. @ Torrisi

Began with pith, clearly lime, potentially grapefruit. Softens a touch soon thereafter, into tropical fruit and shredded coconut. One of the more Sauvignon Blanc-esque chardonnays I’ve ever had the pleasure to taste.
