I have become a big fan of Patricia Green's wines from the Four Winds Vineyard, therefore I was really excited to find her '08 chardonnay available at my local wine store.

The Patricia Green 2008 Chardonnay Four Winds Vineyard (12.5%) drinks like a Chablis, which is a style I really like with this variety. In the glass, this Oregon chardonnay was a beautiful, clear golden yellow color providing notes of freshly sliced lemons, wet stone, and hints of stone fruit.

This wine was a bit angular at first due to its bright acidity, but the edges were smoothed out over time and was tempered more with food (veal cutlets, roasted tomatoes, wild rice). I really enjoyed the fruit and minerality of this chardonnay.

At $20, I would definitely buy another bottle - hope it's not already gone as not much was made.
