The Character
Tasting Notes The 2019 Chardonnay “Un” is a throwback to Old World acid driven style we love from this glorious grape. Couple with a generosity of fruit and texture on the palate that makes you realize you are in the New World. The aromatics are a nice balance of orchard fruit - pears with hints of marzipan (think pear almond tart, but not too buttery) and hints of light and well integrated flinty reduction. On the tongue, the wine is lively with gorgeous fruit, mineral character and tons of length. The 2019 Chardonnay “Un” is, in our opinion, fresh and balanced, much like 2017 and 2018, with nice depth.

The Story
Our 2019 Chardonnay “Un” is a cuvée of our exceptional organic and biodynamic Chardonnay sites in the Willamette Valley. The fruit for this bottling is almost equally repartitioned between Johan Vineyards, located in the new Van Duzer AVA, our younger vines at Eola Springs Vinyeard, a superb new site called Royer Vineyard in the Eola Amity Hills AVA, the storied old vines at Durant Vineyard in the Dundee Hills and our long term “estate-like” leased vines at Cassin Vineyard the Yamhill Carlton AVA, giving us a truly cross AVA look into Willamette Valley Chardonnay.
