Razor sharp, a blend of the cellar, eleven vineyards picked over one month."

95 Points - Jed Dunnuck
"The 2024 Chardonnay Willamette Valley is a huge cross section of wines and offers a kaleidoscope of fruit from many of the region's top sites. Over the past several years, they have been seeking out more marine sedimentary vineyards. A bright yellow hue, the wine has a touch more reduction than the vintage expression, with notes of lime, apricot, fresh orchard fruit, and floral perfume. Full-bodied, it has terrific texture and depth without weight, with impressive underlying complexity, a long finish, and a beautifully approachable feel. This is a fabulous step up from the black label bottling and can be enjoyed over the coming decade. Drink 2026-2038." -AF
93 Points - Vinous
"The 2024 Chardonnay Willamette Valley tempts the senses with a whiff of Asian pear, almond paste and pretty white flowers, complicated by nuances of ginger and lemon zest. This wine is deeply textural and soothingly round, with supple white pit fruits riding a wave of juicy acidity. It leaves a saline inflection that urges the palate to salivate as hints of lime fade." -EG
