"Made with a mixture of grapes from Mineral Springs Vineyard and various Eola-Amity Hills sources, the Estates Chardonnay shows vineyard teamwork pays off. Its aromas of preserved lemons, sage tea, nutmeg, saline and wet slate make for a minerality lover's dream perfume. White peach, lemon, butter and guava flavors are illuminated by brilliant acidity." -MA, 9/1/24

"The 2021 Chardonnay Estate seduces with a perfumed bouquet that blends white peach and nectarine with minty herbs, raw almond and a beautifully integrated whiff of spicy oak. It washes across the palate with mineral-inflected white pit fruits and hints of sour citrus as an enriching air of vanilla custard resonates toward the close. Crunchy, long and full of tension, the 2021 finishes with incredible length and gentle tannins, leaving a note of Anjou pear to linger." -EG, May/2024

"The 2021 Chardonnay Estates was barrel fermented and matured for 18 months in 30% new oak. It has gregarious scents of yellow apple, banana chip, biscuit, toast and honey with flinty nuances. The light-bodied palate offers generous, ripe fruit foiled by bright, refreshing acidity, and it has a long, savory finish. Around 1,000 cases were made." -EB, 7/3/24
