Tasting Panel, 91 Points 

"This exciting, pretty 100% Chardonnay is sourced from five vineyard sites in the Willamette Valley and aged ten months in French oak. Tart lime and sweet caramel on the nose lead to a palate with an abundance of minerality. As slate underscores the crisp, dynamic acidity, oak notes lend body to bright citrus for an Old World feel." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"The 2019 vintage is a blend from five vineyard sites - two from Eola-Amity Hills AVA, one from Chehalem Mountains AVA and two from the (pending AVA) Mount Pisgah area. The ripe, rich fruit from Eola and Chehalem is counterbalanced by the Mount Pisgah components, which lend precise acidity without compromising texture, length, or structure."
