RATINGS

97The Wine Advocate

...opens with streaks of matchstick that give way to a core of red apples, yogurt, pie spice and lemon peel...light-bodied palate has a silky texture and is buzzing with bright acidity and flinty nuance...concentrated core of ripe citrus and a very long, mineral-driven finish. The Oak Grove's salty, tangy character, reminiscent of Chablis, makes it impossible to put down!

95James Suckling

Seductive nose of green apples, white peaches, jasmine tea and plenty of wild herbs. Medium-bodied with a well-rounded texture and profile. Elegant and textural. Well-driven and clean, with a fresh acidity kicking in toward the flavorful, succulent finish. Steely and fresh.

91Vinous / IWC

...vividly fresh, blending crushed green apples, mint and wet stone...electric on the palate, stimulating with zesty acidity and mineral-tinged orchard fruit depths...finishes with a tinge of savory spice and hints of lime zest - potent, full of tension, yet incredibly fresh.

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.
