Consistently one of Oregon's finest Chardonnays, the 2000 Ian's Reserve displays lovely aromas of creamy butter and pears. This wine has loads of depth, huge richness, and a long, pure finish. Tangy apples and poached pear flavors make up this medium-bodied offering's character. Anticipated maturity: now-2006. Tel. (503) 538-4700

A serious Chardonnay that's rich and spicy. It's not heavy, but dripping with cream and smoke overtones to the focused pear and mineral flavors, all of which echo beautifully on the graceful finish. Drink now through 2004. 434 cases made. -HS

Young and sassy, this wine is already showing lovely nuances of toast, spice, lees and mineral. Complex, vivid and beautifully balanced, with a lot of fresh leesy texture and the tangy fruit riding on top. Classy winemaking, elegant and sophisticated. ——P.G.(7/1/2002)—— 91
