2018 Goodfellow Family Cellars Chardonnay Durant Vineyard - USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Dundee Hills (10/12/2023)
The 19 blew me away with its concentrated weightlessness goodness...this 18 is all about subtlety and class! Needs air...first thoughts are cold steel and rain water...comes out quiet and reserved...nothing flashy or attention getting...you just nod your head and acknowledge how suave and cool this dude is! Subtle reduction, crystalline pear and apple fruits with a little squeeze of grapefruit...candied lemon pucker...creamy white flower florals...crushed minerality showing that wonderful dryness and salted spice...really flows in and out slowly and gracefully like the fog by the sea...finishes calm and satisfying...and before you know it, the bottle is empty. Fascinating wine! (95 points)
