Product notes

The Willamette Valley saw a mild summer and an even cooler fall. Harvest time came with the added bonus of a few massive rain events, but the vineyard team was on it! Picking was skillfully timed and the fruit came in at just the right moment.

The winemaking team crafted a Chardonnay in the style they’d like to drink themselves. The 2019 Evolution Chardonnay is anything but buttery, decidedly not oak-y and refreshes like summertime sprinklers. This Chardonnay is fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks to keep the wine crisp and bright!

Tasting notes

Dangerously floral and fruit-driven with a crisp finish. This wine makes it easy to enjoy drinking a young Chardonnay, and even easier to share with friends.

June 2022 (Vintage 2021)

Aromas of candied ginger, wild thyme and peach. Medium-to full-bodied with good length and intensity. A solid core of stone fruit with white-tea spice. Pleasant, powdery tannins at the finish. Drink now.

December 2022 (Vintage 2021)

A tropical paradise of a wine, with aromas of pineapple, coconut and saline reminiscent of a sea breeze. Flavors include more tropical fruit and an icy citrus note that will make you long for a granita. A lithe and lean mouthfeel and elevated acidity make for a refreshing drink.
