"Wild, reductive, flinty aromas here, really hitting the sweet spot of great, modern chardonnay winemaking. There’s toasty oak here, too, supported by assertively fresh, lively lemons and green peaches. The palate rolls out a layered and gently meaty assembly of succulently fresh lemons and peaches. The savory funk will polarize here. Drink or hold, but definitely decant."

"This offers ripe-pineapple and lime-juice aromas, as well as white peaches and wet stones, in a very expressive mode. The palate has a very smooth core of mellow, cashew nuts and white peaches with some very assertive and dense, fleshy-peach and praline notes to close. Drink or hold."

"A very complex and powerful chardonnay with ripe-nectarine, lemon and grapefruit aromas, laced with cool, stony notes, as well as flint and attractively restrained oak. The palate has mouthwatering, intense fruit with such attractively concentrated, pithy-grapefruit and white-peach flavors with beautifully wound flesh that pervades the crisp, long and gently toasty finish. Really superb chardonnay. Drink or hold."

"A super fine nose, this is strikingly pure chardonnay with lemon cream, grapefruit, flint and wet stones on offer with a mouthwateringly intense palate that offers a phenomenally powerful and yet very tightly focused palate that delivers a succulent impression. Grapefruit pervades the rich, suave and commanding finish. Exceptional length and finesse. Drink over the next six to eight years."

Produced from an Eola-Amity Hills Vineyard that is so famous we couldn't use it on the label, we decided to name this single vineyard Chardonnay after our founder Chris Hermann's father Richard. Dr. Richard Hermann was a world-renowned plant geneticist specializing in the Douglas Fir tree. Thanks to his blessing, 00 Wines was founded in 2015, when Dr. Hermann was 91 years old.
"A single plot that offers a very intense, earthy and savory-edged style with autumnal dried berries and leaves, as well as subtle spice on the nose. The palate has a super succulent feel with fine-grained tannins, delivering such power and detail. So long and full of life, this has a sanguine edge that delivers intensity and focus on the finish. Drink across the next decade."

Our 2017 Single Vineyard Shea is an exquisite expression of the site's terrior with a graceful, lifted mouthfeel, rounded out by soft tannins. This wine truly dances in the glass - pleasant on the first taste but with an intellectual appeal that keep even the most experienced Shea vineyard lovers coming back for more.
Produced from Block 1D planted in 1972 in bright red volcanic soil of the the Hyland vineyard in the McMinnville AVA, our 2017 Hyland single vineyard Pinot Noir is savory with hints of roast duck and hoison sauce with a pretty, delicate nose.
"This is a blend of parcels, fermented as hand-snipped, single berries in 500-liter amphorae. The intrinsically fragrant and gently tarry red cherries deliver a complex, youthful impression with assertively spicy oak. The palate has a wildly detailed, fresh and juicy array of rich, dark cherries and berries with such long and succulent, fine tannins. Really exceptional expression of Willamette pinot. Drink across the next decade."
