2009 Laura Volkman Celilo Vineyard Bella Washington Chardonnay
14.7% alc., pH 3.60, 220 cases, $25.
Wente clone. Partial MLF. Fermented in 50% oak (25% new) and 50% stainless steel.
·
Light straw yellow
color in the glass. Aromas of lychee, gooseberry, parchment and a slightly pungent aroma that defies my
description. More traditional flavor profile in the mouth with the taste of apple, pear, and flint, finishing with a
hint of citrus and lees. Decent.

2007 Laura Volkman Vineyards Bella Chardonnay
13.8%, 120 cases,
$25. Sourced from the Celilo Vineyard in Washington. Wente clone. Partial
MLF. Fermented in 50% stainless steel and 50% oak (25% new).
·
A very
vibrant Chardonnay that strikes a compromise between non-oaked and
oaked vinification. Appealing scents of pears and butter with a rich mid palate
of white stone fruits ending with a pleasing citrus lift.

2006 Laura Volkman Vineyards Bella Oregon Chardonnay
13.8% alc., $25.
·
Clear bright yellow in
color. Yeasty aromatics followed by poised citrus, herb and oak flavors nicely composed. Brisk acidity
leads to a clean and refreshing finish. I like this a lot. Now that proper clones of Chardonnay are
planted in Oregon and winemakers used to crafting Pinot Noir have got the hang of it, there are many
impressive examples of Chardonnay now being offered throughout the state.
