James Suckling 91
Notes of mangoes, peaches and sliced pears with hints of honeysuckle, walnuts and pastry crust. Medium- to full-bodied, vivid and juicy with some chalkiness. Fresh and mouthwatering. Drink or hold.

The Dundee Hills are alive with the scent of this wine. Golden Delicious apple and earthy hyacinth aromas fill the air, along with a mineral touch of talc. Then, lemon butter and green tea flavors waltz with notes of almond, peach and basil. Aged in concrete and stainless steel, this is a sleek, acidity-driven beauty.

Technical Details
Description
The newest wine in the estaes line up is the Dundee Reserve Chardonnay. This wine was created to celebrate the wild geography of the Dundee Hills, a special winegrowing region, home to some of Oregon's most renowed wines.
Estate
Purple Hands Vineyards celebrates site-specific pinot noir and chardonnay that unearth the Willamette Valley’s long evolutionary history. Using traditional winemaking techniques, they strive to produce wines that convey an honest expression of each of their vineyards—its grapevines and cultivation, soil and stone, sunshine and rain. All of their wines undergo native fermentation and remain unfined and unfiltered at bottling to preserve their natural, wild character. Achieving elegance in this pursuit is the passion and art of their craft.
Tasting notes
the dundee Reserve Chardonnay is very expressive with lemon meringue, graham cracker, crisp green apple and pineapple. Great balance and intensity with a very long finish. A delicous wine for any fine cuisine.
