2018 Big Table Farm Chardonnay

WSI94 JS93 This is a great chardonnay with powerful, rich fruit that shows full complexity and integration. Fresh lemons and peaches abound and the textural qualities are entrancing. Long, fullish style. Drink now.
Estate Notes: At first blush, this wine’s aromatics offer up lemon custard and stone fruit. It has a persistent white floral note that leads into warm toast and hazelnut – showing off the perfectly developed golden grapes that finish like a bite of perfectly ripe pear. The acid is subtle and complex without any hard edges, giving the wine tension to help you appreciate it’s subtleties. 525 cases produced – unfined and unfiltered. The Wild Bee takes the place of our Willamette Valley Chardonnay – only in name, label, and lower price! Same vineyard sources, same winemaking, same barrels. The Wild Bee is a combination of all six sites of Chardonnay that we work with and is a fine representation of Willamette Valley Chardonnay for 2018. Big Table Farm is the collaborative effort of Brian Marcy and Clare Carver
