Review:

Lemon-lime goodness. This clean, bright, slate-inflected Chard is an exceptional value. When paired with halibut with Meyer lemon brown butter, it is simply perfect. - Marcus

This is the third vintage of Haden Fig's Chardonnay and it certainly lives up to the reputation of its predecessors.

2009 Vintage Tasting Notes

The '08 sold out in a day...will this last as long? Lemon cookies, a little nuttiness, and fresh apricot. A lightly creamy texture works perfectly with the vibrant acidity. The essence of natural winemaking, this underwent a long, slow fermentation - it was bottled a month ago - in 15% new oak. Come over anytime - there'll be a case of this in my cellar as soon as it arrives.

2008 Vintage Tasting Notes

Haden Fig Chardonnay Willamette Valley 08 - Mouthwatering pears and apples mix with a touch of pineapple and zesty lemon, complemented by a hazelnut/almond note. This Chard is bright and finishes clean, with the same rounded feel as the Pinot. Aged in 25% new barrels, which impart the rich texture.

Citrus and stone fruit flavors, mineral notes, and a touch of well-integrated oak help make this Chardonnay a lovely aperitif or wonderful with rich French sauces. - the winery
