  • Decanter, September 2023, Score: 94

    Whispers of lemon curd and fresh mint soften the brace of crisp green apples and limes in this spirited, salt-licked Chardonnay produced by Jean-Nicolas Méo of Méo-Camuzet fame, music mogul Jay Boberg and the American winemaker Tracy Kendall. Vinified entirely in neutral French oak with ambient yeast, it's full-bodied and delightfully supple but pulsates with freshness and transparency too. Delicious young but should evolve beautifully over the next decade. Drink 2023-2035.

  • Jeb Dunnuck, September 2023, Score: 93

    A blend of their sites, including Bishops Creek and Sprit Hill, the 2021 Chardonnay Affinites pours a youthful bright yellow and is expressive with aromas of ripe Willaims pear, wet stone, honeysuckle, and fresh melon. Medium to full-bodied, it displays an attractive, supple texture with elegant, ripe fruit and a long finish. Evenly balanced with an undercurrent of fresh acidity, it’s drinking beautifully now and will continue to have a solid drinking window over the coming 5-7 years.

Region

Oregon

Oregon forms part of the Pacific Northwest area of the USA, lying between California and Washington state. Oregon's vines are directly exposed to the marine airflow of the Pacific Ocean, givingmilder winters but cooler and wetter summers than Washington, which has a strong continental climate. The wine industry in Oregon dates back to 1854 when the first vinifera vines were planted. However it wasn't until the 1960s that Pinot Noir was first planted, which was soon to become therising star of Oregon. Oregon's overnight fame came in 1979 when David Lett (known as ‘Papa Pinot')of the Eyrie Vineyard entered his 1975 Pinot Noir into a blind tasting organised by Robert Drouhin. He came second after Drouhin's 1959 Chambolle-Musigny and ahead of Drouhin's 1961 Clos-de-Bèze! NowOregon's reputation is for quality Pinot Noir (great depth and complexity) and Pinot Gris (a crisp,dry style with more flesh than Pinot Grigio).
