2020 Estate Chardonnay
92 points - Owen Bargreen
The 2020 deLancellotti Family Vineyards Estate Chardonnay shows juicy nectarine and honeysuckle on the nose, which is framed by a thread of wet stone minerality and hints of brioche. Meyer lemon curd is in abundance in the mouth and is nicely complemented with hints of sweet oak and white peach. This wine is long and flowing on the palate with excellent flavor intensity and a lingering, creamy finish.

LACHINI VINEYARDS / Chehalem Mountains AVA
Ron and Marianne Lachini
From the amazing site on Calkins lane, we get a block of Pommard and 115. Ron and his crew farm this site using holistic Biodynamic treatments. Lachini vineyard is a warm site planted on sedimentary soils that are quick- draining. The wines from this site show lots of spice and earth with old world character. We love fruit from this road having first bought property here in 1998. Ron and Marianne continue to be good friends and we are anticipating a single vineyard bottling from this vineyard.
