CHARDONNAY

94 Domaine Drouhin Oregon 2017 Édition Limitée Chardonnay (Dundee Hills). The winery’s reserve-level cuvée is sourced from the estate vineyard, same as the Arthur, but here the presence of new oak is more forceful, the fruit a bit richer, and the impact of phenolic overtones more noticeable. It’s a young, pungent wine that should benefit from additional bottle age. Drink 2021–2028. Cellar Selection. —P.G.

abv: 13.9% Price: $65

A big-shouldered, bold-flavored, impactfully dense style mixes ripe apple, Meyer lemon and a taste of pineapple in a wine with exceptional concentration. Aged in neutral wood, it picks up just a gentle lick of vanilla winding through the finish. Decant this wine, as it has the depth to reward extra-long. —P.G.
