Good flavored fullness in the mouth, that keeps the balance among juicy, sweet fruit, toasty barrel and evenhanded acid.Winemaker:This is their top cuvee, from 100% Dijon clones, and it's made in a fresh, clean style without excessive oak or alcohol. There's a good-flavored fullness in the mouth that keeps the balance among juicy, sweet fruit, toasty barrel and even handed acid. This is the rare Oregon Chardonnay that will continue to improve over several years.Chehalem traces its history back to vineyard operations started by Harry and Judy Peterson-Nedry in 1980, at Ridgecrest Vineyard on Ribbon Ridge Road, northwest of Newberg, Oregon. For years, grapes were sold to others while experimentation proceeded. Chehalem's first release was its 1990 Ridgecrest Pinot Noir.Bill and Cathy Stoller joined the Peterson-Nedrys in the winery in 1993. Subsequently they began Stoller Vineyards--a new, densely planted vineyard on Stoller family farmlands at the tip of the Dundee Hills.Corral Creek, adjacent to the Chehalem winery facility, was purchased by the Peterson-Nedrys and limited partners in 1995.The original Ridgecrest, Stoller, and Corral Creek vineyards are Chehalem's three estate vineyards.
