Domaine Serene Clos de Lune Vineyard Chardonnay 2019, Dundee Hills, Oregon
Dark golden in color.
Light and elegant nose and medium in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing lemons, green and red apples, citrus, spices, minerals, light oak, herbs, sea salt and light earth.
Long finish with limes and herbs.
This is a delicious Chardonnay from Oregon. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel. Spicy and salty.
This 6 year old Single Vineyard Chardonnay, still feels young and would continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
Feels like a good quality Burgundy white. Elegant, easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine.
Chardonnay grapes were aged on the lees, in French oak barrels for 14 months.
13.7% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$100.

I used to sell this wine for RNDC. I dont quite agree with much of the “hate” for the winery although I understand it.
That being said, you’re right on the nose with your notes and glad you enjoyed it. Its a shame that this wine and its Burgundy comps are unaffordable for most. $100 is a lot of money for a very good but not exceptional Chardonnay. 92 points is a fair score but theres a whole lot of beefy whites at 92 points way under $100.
This is a conundrum we all face.
