WINEMAKER’S NOTES

Gleaming light golden color. Gorgeous nose of wet rocks, honeycomb, green apple, Asian pear, and mixed white flowers. On the palate, the wine is expansive with mouthwatering minerality and a richness balanced by notes of fresh apple and lemon zest. I simply love this Chardonnay!  

Vintage Notes:  I am calling this the “Miracle Vintage of 2022.” It featured spring frost and the coolest and wettest spring that the Willamette Valley has experienced in recent years. It lasted well into June! The months of September and October were perfectly gorgeous, helping us to get the crop ripe despite the odds. The acids are amazing in the ‘22 vintage, resulting in a lovely, mouth-watering freshness.
