95 Points James Suckling
A perfumed nose of baked lemons, poached pears, grated nutmeg and fresh flowers. Medium-bodied with silky tannins and texture. Soft and supple with lovely length. Bright and fresh. Drink or hold.

The 2019 Chardonnay VGW is fresh with white flowers, orange peel, and light flint. It has more tension on the palate, with fresh lime, delicate vanillin spice, and lasting floral notes on the back end. True to the vintage, it is a bit more subtle in its personality. although I think this will be an incredible wine as it matures over the next 10 or more years. Drink 2024-2034.
93 Points John Gilman
(Chardonnay “VGW”- OO Wines (Willamette Valley)) The 2019 vintage of VGW chardonnay from the Hermann family is excellent. It comes in at an even thirteen percent octane in this classic vintage and offers up a beautifully precise bouquet of pear, apple, almond, white lilies, a touch of iodine, a fine foundation of soil tones and a touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is vibrant, full-bodied and tightly-knit, with a lovely core of fruit, fine mineral undertow, zesty acids and impeccable balance on the long, focused and complex finish. Fine, fine juice. (Drink between 2022 - 2045)
Producer Notes
VGW stands for “Very Good White,” and it’s 00 Wines calling card. Comprising four vineyards and three Dijon Chardonnay clones (plus the Mendoza clone), it’s wonderfully balanced—rich yet bright, lush yet tense, showing both structure and texture. A blend of four vineyards and three Dijon clones (as well as the Mendoza clone), VGW manages to be many things at the same time: rich, but bright; lush, but with tension; structured, and textural. This is the winery’s calling card and largest production cuvée
Wine Advocate: 94 Points
Crafted from Dijon clone fruit, the 2019 Chardonnay VGW gains richness with time in the glass, blossoming from salted almonds and stone to white flowers and citrus. The medium-bodied palate is sleek, tangy and youthfully linear with honeyed, nutty touches hinting at more to come, and it finishes with tremendous energy and mineral character. Allow it another 2-3 years in bottle at least.
Wine Enthusiast: 93 Points
Double Zero has already established a reputation for spectacular Chardonnays that perfectly express the special qualities of the best Oregon versions. Bright and spicy, balanced and long, this brings together fresh fruit flavors of apple and peach and melon along with a creamy, lightly buttery mouthfeel. Key lime, lemon curd, banana cream pie—such impressions ramble through the mind while sipping this gem.
