2007 Bergstrom Sigrid Willamette Valley Chardonnay $$$$$

By far the best Chardonnay I have tasted from Oregon but at the retail price of $80 it better be!  Aromas of floral, spice, lemon and mineral are present and it was designed to attract Burgundian drinkers which it is close.  The price scares me away from purchasing this wine.  91 points
