91pts Jeb Dunnuck
The deep yellow 2021 Chardonnay Willamette Valley is ripe with aromas of wet stone, fresh pineapple, and lemon rind. Lush, rounded, and full-bodied, with a creamy texture and hints of almond nuttiness and honeycomb on the palate.
Tasting Notes
Notes of apple and ripe pear mingle with woody spice. Citrus zest and a touch of oak give this wine a balance of acid and sweetness creating weight and length in the finish.
Winemaker Notes
This bottle is a true expression of the Willamette Valley. Nectarine, poached pear and vanilla mingle with refreshing notes of wet slate. Crisp apricot and white peach melt on your tongue with hints of lightly toasted oak. Fresh acidity permeates this wine from start to finish. Delicious and food-friendly. If you haven’t tried Oregon Chardonnay yet, get on it!
