chardonnay

Crafted with intention, our 2024 Rosé is a reflection of the vineyard’s playful side—vibrant, aromatic, and irresistibly fresh. Harvested during a late September window of mild days and cool nights, this wine captures both the exuberance of summer fruit and the refinement of balanced winemaking.

Tasting Notes:

Aromatics: Explosive aromatics of watermelon, strawberry blossom, and ripe peach leap from the glass, underlined by a hint of pink guava and fresh rain on stone.

Palate: Surprisingly restrained on the palate, with soft red berry tones, cantaloupe, and a gentle citrus lift. The subtle sweetness is beautifully balanced by fresh acidity and a clean mineral finish.

Finish: Light and refreshing, with a final whisper of watermelon rind and sea salt.

Style: Delicate yet expressive. A rosé that delights with its aromatic lift and finishes with elegant subtlety—made for long lunches, golden hours, and garden conversations.

Tasting Notes:

Aromatics: Black raspberry, ripe plum, dark cherry, graphite, and black tea.

Palate: Brambly blackberry, cassis, and dark cocoa, with savory truffle undertones and dried sage.

Finish: Long, persistent, with subtle oak spice and mineral tension.

Style: Brooding and complex, with rich texture and a dark-fruited core. The acidity keeps the wine vibrant despite its depth, ensuring a balanced and powerful Pinot Noir.

Sourced from nearly 50-year-old vines planted in the historic soils of the Willamette Valley, this Chardonnay marries old vine wisdom with a modern touch. Aged in a thoughtful blend of oak and stainless steel,, the resulting wine is complex, focused, and deeply expressive of site and season.

Tasting Notes

Aromatics: Aromas of white nectarine, lemon balm, and honeysuckle give way to hints of crème brûlée and toasted almond from the oak. A touch of flint adds depth.

Palate: Rich and textured yet finely balanced, with notes of baked apple, chamomile, and Meyer lemon. The oak component lends creaminess and spice, while stainless steel aging retains freshness and lift.

Finish: Long and layered, with lingering notes of citrus oil, orchard fruit, and wet stone minerality.

Style: A nuanced and structured Chardonnay that bridges old vine concentration with a lively, contemporary edge. Elegant now, with the potential to age gracefully.
