one of a pair of single-vineyard, reserve-level chardonnays, this seamlessly pulls together yellow apple, lemon panna cotta, white pepper and a suggestion of wet rock. located in the chehalem mountains ava, aurora fruit is fermented with wild yeast all the way through malolactic, and aged in one-third new and two-thirds neutral french oak. the wild yeast adds detail and texture, and the wine makes a soft, buttery, graceful, prolonged exit.
