Ruby 2019 Chardonnay

I've been banging the drum for Oregon Chardonnay for years and each successive vintage just proves the point. Ruby's latest release delights from the first sniff. Succulent flavors of mixed citrus are lively and refreshing, with appealing minerality. The wine is focused and deep, with lingering impact for a full minute or more. There's very little evidence of new oak, but with fruit this good it's not missed. 446 cases; 13%; $40 (Laurelwood District)
