For me, the best Oregon Chardonnays aren’t trying to replicate other region’s versions – eg. Burgundy or Napa Valley. The climate isn’t the same as either, so why try and mimic the end product? What we get is something uniquely Oregon – density of fruit along with vibrancy and freshness. Power AND finesse. They aren’t mutually exclusive here, you get the best of both spectrums.
Need convincing? Well, look no further than this gem! Crushing the winery and best US price, this is a great chance to hop on board the Oregon Chard wagon. (Oregon Trail? Anyone else remember that game?)
James Suckling: 93 Points
"Showing bright Sicilian lemon, white grapefruit, matchstick, apricots and white tea aromas. Clean and deliciously creamy, with a medium to full body and focused finish."
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
"Rich yet steely, with handsome flavors of pear and apple that build structure and polish toward the spicy finish. Drink now. 2,034 cases made."
Jeb Dunnuck: 91 Points
"A medium yellow hue, the 2021 Chardonnay Laurelwood District is juicy with notes of melon, wet stone, candied citrus, and a rounded touch of oak spice. Medium-bodied, with fresh energy balanced with ripe fruit and a citrus-driven finish with a light saline touch."
Wine Enthusiast: 91 Points
"Yellow apple slices, toasted filbert and dry, crunchy oak leaf aromas make for a fall-like nose. Flavors like white peach and lemon verbena glide along a creamy texture, joined by a trace of wet slate and soft acidity."
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
"The 2021 Chardonnay Laurelwood District has alluring aromas of white peach, quince, beeswax and cracked almonds. The light-bodied palate has a silky texture, vibrant acidity framing its saline-laced fruit and a long, nuanced finish."
