Return to Willamette; 7/2/2023-7/8/2023 (Portland & Willamette): Very crisp and very chard. In the beginning I almost think it is aiming for Chablis but then it kind of expands in the mouth and becomes a bigger wine. I can appreciate that many people would really enjoy it. For me it’s still Chardonnay but well done.

Everyone thinks of the 2020 fires that destroyed the Pinots from Oregon, but the Chardonnay was largely picked before the fire and the growing season was phenomenal up to that point. It shows in this beautiful Sigrid, and I’m sure the winemaking team had extra time and focus to put into this flagship Chardonnay. This drinks much like a top cru white burgundy and shows just how good Oregon Chardonnay can be.

Very refined, elegant yet youthful Chard. Satisfies all the markers with a softer making approach.
