With only 190 cases produced, this wine is gorgeous to drink all on its own, with its rich fruit profile and seductive minerality, but it begs to be paired with seafood dishes or will serve brilliantly alongside roasted chicken. Raised in 70% French Oak (only 20% new), and 30% stainless steel, this Chardonnay is balanced and poised.

"A medium-bodied Chardonnay with delicious notes of green apples, dried pears and ripe lemons. Zesty and delicious with a satisfying and succulent finish."
Vinous Media: 92 Points
"The 2022 Chardonnay Classic is wonderfully floral, with masses of crushed stones and dusty dried flowers giving way to lime-tinged peach. It opens with saline and citrus as crisp orchard fruits cascade throughout. It finishes remarkably fresh, literally mouth-watering, leaving a salty flourish and hints of spice. While not labeled as such, the 2021 hails entirely from the Gran Moraine Vineyard."
Decanter
"Clone 76 from Gran Moraine Vineyard in the Yamhill Carlton is listed as a Willamette Valley wine, and at around $35, this wine punches way above its price point. Honeyed aromatics of apricot collide with bright notes of ginger, seaspray and lemon pith. The palate offers fleshy citrus cream and a salted lemon peel streak that bounds into chipped flint minerality. The entire affair is bright and airy, with a stony grip that lifts rich citrus fruit. It is wholly delicious, a piece of brilliance, to be frank."
