Brick House Cascadia Chardonnay 2010

Review:

I poured this wine for over a dozen experienced wine tasters, all with the same reaction: wow. The aromas are both captivating and refreshing, with jasmine, flint, and lime zest awakening your senses. The flavors are multi-dimensional - it's the 4-D Chardonnay of the bunch. Fresh citrus, with flecks of sea shell, hazelnut cream and delicate herbs, finishing with tremendous cut. Wow wow wow! - Marcus

Light golden colored, appealing aromas of pear, white peach, and lemon blossom. Silky on the palate, white fruit, ocean breeze, hazelnut and a long, mineral infused finish. Impeccable balance and depth, drink over the next 2-5 years. The 2010 Cascadia is an exceptional, memorable Oregon Chard. - Jean

2009 Wine Advocate - 91 points - The 2009 Chardonnay Cascadia is more mineral dominated along with excellent notes of baking spices, melon, and poached pear. It has a bit more depth and concentration than the regular bottling. - Jay Miller

Brick House made two chardonnays in 2009. The Cascadia is their premium wine.

2006 Vintage Tasting Notes

"Toasted hazelnut and citrus zest aromas. Concentrated and lively on the attack with a moderately full body and a spicy, oak influenced finish. Still tight and youthful... 90-95 points"
--- Marc Dornan on barrel tasting for Tastings.com

"One of the most impressive Oregon Chardonnays I have tasted...reminiscent of a top notch premier cru from Chassagne-Montrachet..."
