2005 Oregon Chardonnay

King Estate Domaine Chardonnay from the 2005 vintage showcases the exceptional qualities of Oregon's winegrowing region. This full-bodied white wine exhibits a bright acidity that captures the essence of its cool-climate origins, making it refreshing and lively. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing vibrant notes of green apple and pear, complemented by subtle layers of citrus and a touch of vanilla from its time in oak. The tannins are soft and delicate, allowing the wine's inherent fruit character to shine through beautifully. With its dry nature, this Chardonnay is not only delicious on its own but also incredibly food-friendly, making it an excellent choice for a variety of culinary pairings.

With its rugged landscape and cool Pacific climate, Oregon is one of the world's great modern Pinot Noir regions. The Willamette Valley produces an impressive array of styles across its six AVAs, from fragrantly fruity to lush and complex. This is thanks to a range of terroirs that are eerily similar to Burgundy's in France (Oregon even lies on the same latitude). In fact, major Burgundy producers have set up in Oregon to make wine, including Domaine Drouhin and Louis Jadot. And it is not just Pinot Noir found in Oregon. Other benchmark grapes include Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling; Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah thrive in the southern AVAs.
