2015 Morgen Long Chardonnay Yamhill Vineyards - USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Yamhill-Carlton (2/5/2019)
I’m still yet to have a disappointing wine from Morgen Long. Bright, light clear pale yellow. This started too cold. As it warmed, flavors and scents of lemon peel, mineral, underripe apricot emerged. Vibrant and energetic - it’s appearance belies its concentration of flavor. (92 pts.)

2015 Thomas Pinot Noir Dundee Hills - USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Dundee Hills (2/5/2019)
This was my first Thomas of the 2015 vintage, so I was excited. Unfortunately, upon removing the foil, there was evidence of seepage (small amount of pink on top, as well as a bit of mold). Decanted in a wide-bottom decanter. Aromas of slightly stewed fruit with a scent of almost like wilting flowers in there, too. There was fruit for sure, but I think this was off. It tasted decent, but came across too advanced for a 2015 PN from OR from this producer. I suppose grabbing this bottle instead of my others was serendipitous…still annoying. NR (flawed)
