The 1992 Chardonnay Reserve is one of the finest Oregon Chardonnays I have tasted recently. The leesy, toasty, honeysuckle, buttery nose is followed by rich, gorgeously pure, ripe, full-bodied, apple, hazelnut, and orange flavors, wonderful purity, a well-delineated personality, and a heady, lusty finish. This wine is about as close as Oregon can come to producing a blockbuster Chardonnay. Don't dare miss it! It should drink well for 1-2 years.I find this winery's white wines far more interesting than their tart, acidified, compact, lean reds.Tel. (503) 592-3752.

Bright and fruity, with nice apple and spice flavors that tail off on the finish. 460 cases made. -
