RATINGS

96The Wine Advocate

...manages power and elegance, with gunflint notes that flush out to pure roasted almonds, saline, white flowers and apple fruit on the nose. The palate offers intense, savory flavor layers in an elegant, satin-like frame, with dynamic acidity and a long, ethereal finish.

94Vinous / IWC

Lifted and perfumed, the 2018 Chardonnay Maresh is a dreamy wine with a cascade of wildflowers, honeysuckle, ginger and Asian pear. It's softly textured yet finessed, nearly weightless. Depths of white pit fruits and zesty mineral tones take on a crunchiness toward the close. It finishes long with a spicy kick yet ultimately fresh, leaving hints of chamomile and apricot to linger.

16.5+ Jancis Robinson

Intense nose. Very fine acidity. Green flavours and very juicy. Very clean.

REGION

United States, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Dundee Hills

Dundee Hills AVA is in Yamhill County, and it is entirely contained within the Willamette Valley AVA, Oregon’s best known appellation. Dundee Hills is about 30 miles southwest of Portland, and has 1,300 vineyard acres. It was awarded AVA status in 2004 and, like much of Oregon, is known for Pinot Noir. Several of Oregon’s 20th century wine pioneers established their vineyards and wineries in Dundee Hills, adding to its status as a region long-recognized for producing high quality, iconic Oregon wines. Eyrie Vineyards, Erath Winery and Sokol Blosser remain some of Oregon’s most celebrated producers, and all were founded in what is now Dundee Hills in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

TYPE
