Best Oregon and Washington Chardonnays

Shop for the Best WINE

 

Hello from Marcus at Avalon Wine,

I'm a man on a mission - call me the Oregon Chardonnay crusader. I'm going to do everything I can to make sure Oregon Chardonnay gets the credit it deserves. The biggest challenge? There's simply too little of the best Oregon Chard to cause more than a tiny ripple in the ocean of global Chardonnay.

This gives you and me a distinct advantage - together through Avalon, we have access to the best small production Oregon Chardonnay. So I'm going to regularly keep you informed on the best new Chardonnays, starting today.

These are not California, not Burgundy (though closer in style). They are Oregon, 100%, and they'll make you into an Oregon Chardonnay crusader.

P.S. Stay tuned for more Chards from Arterberry Maresh, Eyrie, Evening Land, Evesham Wood and more...

Bergstrom Old Stones Chardonnay 2010

$29.95 Retail

$26.95

Qty.

This morning's San Francisco Chronicle's article on Oregon Chardonnay featured the Old Stones 09. They said: "Bergstrom's extraordinary talents put a lot of delicious into what he portrays as an early-drinking bottle. Opulent and intense, this shows a subtle oak impact and deep, creamy tones to the bright apple, Meyer lemon and apricot flavors, with a wild-mushroom hint. Don't be afraid to give it a couple years to evolve."

Looking for a Chardonnay to impress your friends and please all of their tastes? Old Stones is it. Ripe citrus and pear is fat and lush without the clunkiness of oak. The name is fitting - notes of wet stone pervade the wine and combined with...
