"The use of old Oregon oak (30-40%) in this wine is an interesting choice. Rather than the bold, round texture typically associated with French oak in Chardonnays. There is a very expressive lemon oil aromatic along with salted lemon freshness. The native oak creates a unique tension that lifts the flavours to the tip of your tongue. This vibrant wine features a lovely mineral and saline character, with notes of honey, pears, doughy crackers, and a delicate citrus floral finish."

"Winemaker Evan Martin describes the 2022 Chardonnay Pearlstad Vineyard as a Chablisien wine. Coming from the very rocky marine sedimentary soils on the western side of the Eola-Amity Hills, it has a very focused profile on the nose, with notes of salty earth, lime zest, green apple skin, and fresh herbs and flowers. It is linear and also focused on the palate, but has ripe acidity, with a great, savory, salty finish. Mouthwatering and tension-driven, but with pretty fruit throughout, it’s going to age gracefully over the coming 8-10 years."
