Expert Reviews · 2022 Vintage
Wine Enthusiast, Michael Alberty, 91 Points | For those of you who enjoy a stroll on the creamier side of Chardonnay life, here's a wine to champion. The wine's lemon curd and tangerine aromas are a nice mix of sweet and tang, while a puff of chalkboard dust floats in the background. Gentle acidity caresses flavors of lemon gelato and the caramel-drizzled goodness of a stroopwafel cookie.
Jeb Dunnuck, 90 Points | A pale yellow hue, the 2022 Chardonnay Willamette Valley reveals attractive aromas of green melon, lime blossoms, fresh white flowers, and vanilla. Medium-bodied, it’s an approachable and charming white, with a delicately rounded feel and a powdery finish.
Winemaker Description
Siduri | The 2022 Siduri Willamette Valley Chardonnay is sourced from the Gran Moraine Vineyard, in Yamhill-Carlton, as well as the Maple Grove Vineyard - a somewhat off-the-beaten-path vineyard near the town of Monmouth. The marine sedimentary soils of these vineyards produce Chardonnays with wonderful mineral and saline-driven textures. Ripe flavors meld seamlessly with the fresh acidity and mineral structure to produce some crisp and mouthwatering Chardonnays.
Pairing & Serving Suggestions
Pair with Pacific Northwest salmon, buttered lobster, calamari, soft creamy cheeses, or mushroom risotto. Serve chilled and allow a little time in the glass for the citrus and floral aromatics to open.
