This wine opens with a vibrant and expressive nose, showcasing layers of ripe pear, golden apple, and Meyer lemon, accented by honeysuckle and white blossom. Subtle notes of toasted hazelnut, brioche, and vanilla cream unfold with air, revealing the wine’s time on lees and thoughtful oak aging.

On the palate, it is textural and finely structured, balancing ripe orchard fruit with moderate acidity. The mid-palate is supple and creamy, enriched by extended lees contact that lends weight and complexity. Oak is beautifully integrated, adding gentle warmth and spice without overpowering the fruit.

The finish is long and elegant, carrying lingering impressions of citrus zest, roasted hazelnut, brioche, and honeycomb. This Chardonnay reflects both the natural concentration of the Rogue Valley and a refined, restrained approach to winemaking, emphasizing balance, texture, and length.
