This Chardonnay is from a very special vineyard in the Eola Amity Hills AVA who will remain nameless because of the NDAs we had to sign to get access to these grapes. What we can tell you is that Chardonnay from this vineyard typically sells for $75-$110 per bottle, and has been rated as high as 95 points by Robert Parker.

The vineyard is one of the oldest in the area and sits on a gentle slope right in the throat of the Van Duzer Corridor. Wines from the Van Duzer Corridor are benefited by winds that funnel from the Pacific ocean, propagating the corridor’s microclimate and stabilizing temperatures year round. This results in consistently rich flavored and deeply colored wines. The grapes also benefit from complex soil and terrain conditions. The lower portion of the vineyard has silty Missoula Flood Deposits and the uppermost areas are capped with Columbia River Basalt. Midslope areas are a mixture of older alluvium and clayey paleosol with sedimentary rocks and silt thins.

We harvested from three distinctly positioned blocks on the prestigious estate. Each block has a unique flavor profile, clone type (Prosser, CH96, and Hyde Wente), slope, break, soil, plant year, berry size, and elevation; and combined, should result a layered Chardonnay with impressive complexity.
