Veronique Drouhin says:
The inside 2020 story is that the growing season was nearly ideal. The first three months of the year were relatively dry, budbreak took place in mid-April, light rain during flowering led to lovely small berries and clusters, and wide temperature swings resulted in a beautiful crop heading into harvest. Our goal—always—is to produce exceptional wines from our vineyards. 2020 gave us the paradox of outstanding Chardonnays but impossible estate Pinot Noir.
A highly perfumed and expressive nose of crisp apple, honeysuckle, and acacia leaps from the glass of our 2020 Roserock Chardonnay. Energetic and focused with pleasing afternotes of key lime and subtle vanilla, the lingering finish is incredibly satisfying. Enjoy now or test your patience and be rewarded over the next 7-10 years.
She finds it even more impressive than her 99-point 2019. As do Suckling and the Wine Spectator.
Suckling:
Lovely aromas of white tea, crushed herbs and citrus. Medium-bodied. Tangy, with a hint of lime, but it transitions into more straw and fresh-mint character. Fresh overall. Nicely layered. Drink or hold.
Wine Spectator:
Opulent and refined, with a vibrant core of acidity framed by pear, cantaloupe and toasty spice flavors that build depth and richness on the savory finish.
It’s their top Oregon Chardonnay of the vintage.
