Produced entirely in stainless steel, the 2004 Chardonnay INOX is a wonderful value. Its fresh, gorgeous aromatics display pears and a multitude of yellow fruits. Broad, lush, suave, and engaging, this wine exhibits excellent depth, richness, and balance. Its tangy character offers yellow plum and pear flavors in an oily-textured, decadent style. Drink it over the next 2-3 years. www.chehalemwines.com; tel. (503) 538-4700

Stainless steel fermented and aged, to bring bright, acid-driven fruit to the forefront. Full-bodied and flavorful, with nicely mixed stone fruits, pineapple, green berries and lemony citrus. It sets up sharply on the palate and holds true, just waiting for some fresh shellfish. ——P.G.(5/1/2006)—— 90
