A little softer than what Seth typically looks for, the 2022 Chardonnay Willamette Valley is pretty in the glass and fresh with aromas of bright fresh green apple, pear, candied lime, dewy earth, and fresh flowers. It pours a bright straw/youthful hue and has lovely tension on the palate, with an even feel and good depth, although it feels weightless and elegant. It has a fantastic, clean, salty flourish and is long on the finish. This is a killer appellation wine to drink over the next 7-8 years. 500 cases were produced.

The 2022 Chardonnay Willamette Valley is a total pleasure, with a blend of vividly ripe apple and apricot, crushed rocks and sage. It opens with a pleasant inner sweetness, contrasted by salty mineral tones as crisp orchard fruits cascade across the palate. This is incredibly fresh and energetic yet complex as well, leaving a flinty sensation and hints of sour citrus to linger on.
