Apple, pear, baked lemon, and lime zest meet delicate floral notes and stony minerality. The supplied reviews describe a supple, silken texture with gentle creaminess, balanced by fresh acidity and a lingering citrus-and-orchard-fruit finish.
Expert Reviews - Vintage 2024
James Suckling, 93 Points | A balanced and nuanced wine with aromas of apples, baking spices and baked lemons. Nicely textured and light- to medium-bodied, with lemon oil acidity and gentle creaminess in the middle. A very fresh and clean finish with lingering flavors of spiced pears and citrus.
Vinous, 93 Points | The 2024 Chardonnay Willamette Valley entices with a highly expressive blend of crushed green apple, lime zest and wet stone aromas. It balances a pretty inner sweetness with fresh acidity and silken textures as ripe orchard fruit swirls across the palate. The 2024 displays excellent balance as it tapers off long and perfumed, leaving a subtle hint of apricot.
Jeb Dunnuck, 92 Points | Producing roughly 20,000 cases annually, the 2024 Chardonnay Willamette Valley pours a bright silver/yellow color and offers elegant aromas of pear, poached apple, fresh flowers, lemon sorbet, and delicate creaminess, along with hints of vanilla and meringue. Medium to full-bodied, it has a supple texture, lovely approachability, subtle almond cream, youthful effervescence, bright stony minerality, and a touch of bitter citrus pith on the finish.
Food Pairings
Try with pan-seared scallops, Dungeness crab, roasted halibut, wild mushroom tart, roasted squash with sage, or aged Gruyère. Serve chilled and allow a little time in the glass for the wine’s texture and aromatics to open.

Expert Reviews - Prior Vintage 2022
Wine Spectator — 94 pts: "Sleek yet luxurious, this impressive white offers rich Asian pear, nectarine and lemon zest flavors that gather richness and flesh on the long finish. Drink now through 2026."
Decanter — 93 pts: "A core of lemon-driven intensity. Aromas of sweet Meyer lemon blossom, fragrant gardenias, and smoky grilled lemon peel. The palate showcases real vibrance of fruit, early season stone fruits, lemon curd and bright mineral elements. Crisp acidity yet richly balanced. Drink 2024–2034."
James Suckling — 92 pts: "A structured, golden apple-scented wine with hints of toasted almonds, light toast and subtle caramel. Well-balanced, rounded and composed."
Vinous — 91 pts: "Fruit-forward yet beautifully balanced, blending yellow apples with chamomile, ginger and hints of white smoke. Soothingly round with saline minerals and ripe pears, guided by brisk acidity. Finishes with admirable length and gentle tension. Drink 2024–2029."
Wine Advocate — 91 pts: "Tense and shimmery, scented of yellow apples, lemon peel, bread dough, cashews and beeswax. The light-bodied palate balances concentrated, nutty fruit with vibrant acidity and a long, silky finish. Drink 2024–2034."
