CHARDONNAY
95 Furioso 2020 Trovato Vineyard Chardonnay (Yamhill-Carlton). A bolt of electrified acidity transforms this wine from merely great to something special. Lemon sorbet and toasted filbert aromas are accented by a fresh, clean burst of fir tree needles. A tangy green olive saline note joins the wine’s lemon zest and Asian pear flavors. This is sleek, elegant juice. Editors’ Choice. —M.A.

Made with fruit from a historic vineyard first planted in 1976, this wine is a superb combination of finesse and flavor. An aroma of laundry washed with lemon-scented powder joins forces with mint and basil. Lemon gelato, kaffir lime and filbert flavors surf. —M.A.
