CHO Wines Spirit Hill Vineyard Chardonnay 2024 Review
When Dave and Lois Cho moved to Oregon to start CHO wines in 2020, Dave became the first Korean-American winemaker in Oregon. The upstart project has come a long way from its early pandemic days, crafting a wide range of wines from AVAs across the state, including a number of single vineyard offerings. This stellar Chardonnay comes from the Spirit Hill Vineyard, located on a 700-foot high slope in the Van Duzer Corridor. It offers a compelling tension shown in the best Chardonnays, juxtaposing blazing acidity with a rounded, nutty richness.
