The 2021 Chardonnay Yamhill Valley Vineyard is deep and expressive. Matured in French and Oregon oak for 11 months, it has intense aromas of grilled peaches, honeycomb, ginger, mushroom and candle smoke. The medium-bodied palate is youthfully tangy and tense with a coiled core of fruit and saline character that gives it a shimmery feel. It has a luxurious texture that extends the finish, and it's a pleasure to drink straight from the bottle despite its potential for graceful aging.

The 2021 Chardonnay Yamhill Valley Vineyard lifts up with an invigorating freshness, like crisp mountain air infused with chamomile and cardamom, before giving way to green apples. It's seductively silky and round, yet quickly builds with savory tension as a salty sensation takes hold, contrasting its white pit fruits. Perfumed throughout, the 2021 tapers off slowly, leaving a saline tinge and hints of nectarine.
