Brick House Chardonnay 07
Brick House Chardonnay 07 - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 91 Points The 2007 Chardonnay, from a superb vintage for the Willamette Valley’s white wines because of the vibrant natural acidity, is light gold-colored with an enticing nose of honey, tropical fruits, and mineral. This is followed by a medium-bodied, creamy-textured wine with layered, rich fruit, impeccable balance, and a lengthy, pure finish. It is likely to evolve for 1-2 years and drink well through 2014. - Jay Miller
"A showstopper"- Portland Oregonian
Previous vintage Parker 90 points: "Lovely rich aromas of toasty pears are found in the nose of the 2002 Chardonnay. Oily-textured, broad, and medium-bodied, this seamless wine is packed with honeyed minerals as well as white fruits. One of the most elegant Chards I've tasted from Oregon, it should be drunk over the next 4-5 years."
MORE INFORMATION
Winemaker and proprietor Doug Tunnel was an early fan of the climate-adapted Dijon clone chardonnays, and this is a showstopper.
Made entirely from organically grown grapes, this wonderfully bracing and flavorful chardonnay showcases forward crisp flavors of lemon peel, lime, a touch of tangerine and even a tad of mango.
Though the wine has a vibrantly tropical character, it also has an appealing weight in the mouth, making sipping it a rather sensuous experience. It is a wonderful example of the new trend in quality Oregon chardonnay." C.D.
