RATINGS

94James Suckling

Notes of dried apples, glazed lemons, orange curd, roasted almonds and crushed stones. Hints of dried lemon peel, too. Full-bodied and broad yet it is delicate with impressive fresh acidity. Incredible minerality here with a touch of zestiness at the end. Lingering finish.

94Jeb Dunnuck

Bright and inviting...high-toned aromatics including loads of lime zest, honeyed apple, and a lifted note of gunflint that is well-managed. Medium-bodied and energetic, with balanced ripeness as well as loads of fresh citrus and a long finish, it has more reductive and bright-toned energy that lasts for ages through the finish.

93Wine Enthusiast

Driven by electrifying acidity and a texture as crisp as a new dollar bill... Pineapple and chamomile aromas are complemented by bits of fresh-cut grass and thyme. Flavors of chilled orange segments, lemon verbena and toasted filberts go on forever.

93Decanter Magazine (points)

...shows flinty aromatics and laser-focused brightness with hints of cut early-season pears, white flowers and smoky minerality...palate is balanced, bright and savoury, with minerality written all over it. Notes of crushed granite and green peppercorn complement grilled lemon peel, briny seaspray and smoky flint.

92The Wine Advocate

...features singular, exotic aromas of lemongrass, green herbs, citrus blossom and peach preserves...medium-bodied palate is silky and energetic with perfumed flavors accented by touches of allspice, and it has a long, layered finish.

92Wine Spectator

Brisk and fresh, with pear and grapefruit flavors accented by spice and white blossom aromatics as this glides on the steely finish.

91CellarTracker

17Jancis Robinson

Subtle and pure apple notes. Lean and focused style with chalky texture. Oak is seamlessly integrated...finishes long and rich. Really beautiful.

REGION

United States, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Eola-Amity Hills

Willamette Valley AVA was established in 1983, and it is the oldest appellation in Oregon. Oregon’s modern wine industry began in the Willamette Valley in the 1960s when artists, vagabond winemakers, and U.C. Davis oenology graduates looking for new territory started their own, small, off-the-grid wineries. The appellation is the state’s largest, and it extends 175 miles from Columbia River on the Washington/Oregon border to just south of Eugene, near central Oregon. The Willamette River runs through the area, helping to give the appellation a mild year-round climate. There are six smaller sub-appellations within this AVA, but altogether the Willamette Valley has the largest concentration of wineries in Oregon, as well as the majority of the state’s most famous producers. Pinot Noir is king here, followed by Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Riesling. To most admirers of Oregon Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley offers the most distinctive wine choices in the state.

TYPE

This white variety originated in Burgundy, but is now grown around the world. Its flexibility to thrive in many regions translates to wide flavor profile in the market. Chardonnay is commonly used in making Champagne and sparkling wines.
