JEB DUNNUCK 93+ POINTS - "The bright yellow 2023 Chardonnay Chehalem Mountain Vineyard is another wine with a light haze, bottled unfined and unfiltered. White pineapple, fresh nectarine, orange zest, spice, and chalky richness all emerge, with a broader texture without heaviness, while honeydew tones and savory depth linger through the finish. Drink this over the coming 10 or more years. Drink 2026-2040. This wine is more obvious than the Eola Springs, which I think is more reserved but may ultimately show even better over time."
ANTONIO GALLONI'S VINOUS MEDIA 92 POINTS - "Sweet orchard fruit and toasted spices introduce the pretty, polished 2023 Chardonnay Chehalem Mountain Vineyard, followed closely by a sharp line of malic acidity that rips through the palate like a bandsaw. counterpoint. Lemon oil, honeysuckle, chalk and green apple settle in through the long, notably tense finish. There's a bit of old-school charm here."
