2021 Big Table Farm Chardonnay The Wild Bee - USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley (5/27/2023)
Walked into McCarthy and Shiering on Friday, I wanted a NW Chard from a new Producer to me, and under $40. Bullseye. What a delightful and simply a joy to drink this last night. A playful sweetness hits early, lemon and limes but with a rich edge and texture. Seamless. As it warmed a little honeyed note emerged or perhaps it was the suggestion of the beautiful label, either way, it worked for me. Back end acidity keeps everything in check, fresh, but in the back ground for sure. If I were to draw a comparable within OR Chard, Iād go with the a strong vintage of Cameron Clos Electric Blanc. Perhaps not quite as complex, but its close. Loved this. (93 points)
