2021 Morgen Long Chardonnay Eola-Amity Hills

Eola - Amity Hills more

4/27/2024 - devraj Likes this wine: 94 points

Light yellow in color. Initially a lot of VSC aromas that settle down a bit over time to reveal complex aromas of intense citrus, struck match stick, toasted sesame, yellow peach, florals. The palate shows both volume and length, a wave of citrus, orchard pit fruits, flinty minerals, stem ginger and a long finish. Superb and drank too young. This will get better in the bottle.

Willamette Valley more

4/21/2024 - devraj Likes this wine: 93 points

Pale yellow in color. Initially reductive aromas which opens to notes of wet stone, green citrus and herbs, just underripe orchard pit fruits. A delicious and crunchy palate reveals a steely and mineral Chardonnay with great saline notes and excellent acidity. Wonderful.

Oi! This is quite awesome. Extremely aromatic on the nose with candied black cherries/blackberries, white pepper, dried florals, incense and black olive tapenade. An intense palate shows sweet-sour crushed black small fruits, the savory notes of black olives, pepper, good acidity and melting tannins on a long floral finish.

Medium brickish ruby in color. Nose takes about 30 mins to blossom and shows off great aromas of red forest berries, dried florals, dark soy, forest floor and hint of spice. Superbly balanced and silky in the mouth showing more sweet and less sour red berries, savory mix of mushrooms and brown sauce, ripe acids and a long earthy and floral finish that is very dense and fans out on the palate. Best showing for this wine.

Light-medium yellow in color. Superb aromas of green apples, yellow citrus confit, sea-shell broth, green herbs and florals. Expansive palate shows serious depth to the sour-sweet apples/citrus, savory shell reduction, very good acidity that fans out on the floral/citrus leaf finish. This continues to impress and is a great value.

Medium yellow in color. Initially reductive which quickly blows away to showcase superb aromas of yellow citrus oils, lemon curd, peaches, hint of melted butter and dried florals. Concentrated and palate staining flavors of yellow citrus and orchard pit fruits, saline notes, very good acidity and a very long, powerful finish. Superb.

Light to medium yellow in color. Initially reductive on the nose which over time reveals gorgeous aromas of white stone fruits, lemon zest, yellow flowers and herbs. Intense and creamy at the same time, the palate shows citrus poached stone fruits buttressed by excellent acidity, energetic saline notes and a very long mineral laden finish. Excellent!

Very youthful dark ruby/magenta. Restrained aromas of dark red plums, sour cherries, spice and green tones.

Dark inky purple/red in color. Complex aromas of black small fruits, menthol/camphor, baking and savory spices on the nose. Very juicy on the palate showing crushed sweet blackberries, cassis, savory Indian spices, medium acidity, fully resolved tannins and a long finish dominated by menthol. This is very good. I guess a small nit is that it is perhaps too polished and modern and does not show the 'typicity' and 'rusticity' of a Crozes.

Medium yellow in color. Aromas of yellow citrus zest, florals, quince, wool and hay on the nose.

Light golden yellow in color. Gorgeous aromas of ripe peaches, lemon cream soda, orange zest, petrol (that blows off over time), wet slate and florals. Quite intense on the palate with floral and spicy waves of creamy yellow/orange citrus, crushed peaches, good acidity and a very long honeyed aftertaste. Only small nit is that this bottle came across a slightly more flabby (less acid impact) than the previous one.

Light yellow in color with small beads. Fabulous nose of yellow florals, Meyer lemons, ripe orchard fruits, dried honey. Very rich and opulent on the palate showing of ripe summer orchard stone fruits, pears, tangerine oil, decent acidity and a super long and fruity finish. This is drinking incredibly fresh, and although quite ripe and flashy, one can't deny the vinousity, density of the fruit on the palate.

3/11/2024 - devraj Likes this wine: 92 points

Light yellow in color. Classic aromas of maritime scents, sea-shell broth, lemongrass, florals, citrus oils, stone fruits and limestone/chalk. Well defined palate that shows good sap to the medium weight stone fruits, savory sea shell reduction, medium+ acidity, minerals and a long perfumed finish. This continues to impress, perhaps a small nit is that it is perhaps a bit more generous and ripe on the palate, but nevertheless a fabulous value.
