Tasting notes
Aroma
Intensely aromatic right out of the bottle, opening with yellow mango, white peach, and orange blossom before unfolding into lemon zest, toasted hazelnut, and crushed flint.
Palate
Broad and energetic on the palate. Golden orchard fruit and ripe apricot collide with bright natural acidity, fine-grained structure, and a long, spice-laced finish.

In Detail
A high-acid, small-batch Oregon allocation grown on wind-swept volcanic slopes.
Grown in the heart of Oregon's Eola-Amity Hills, Björnson Vineyard sits directly in the path of afternoon Pacific ocean breezes streaming through the Van Duzer Corridor. This dramatic daily cooling effect slows grape ripening, allowing Chardonnay to build deep tropical complexity while locking in vibrant, food-friendly acidity.
Mark and Pattie Björnson farm their steep estate with fanatical environmental devotion, maintaining LIVE Sustainable and Salmon-Safe certifications across volcanic Nekia clay soils. For this Reserve cuvée, the winemaking team hand-selects the finest barrels of Dijon clones, fermenting in French oak with full malolactic conversion to balance the vineyard's fierce wind-swept tension with luxurious, mouth-coating texture.
The 2021 vintage stands out for its exceptional balance and focus. Combining yellow mango, lemon curd, and subtle pastry notes with a distinct mineral backbone, this small-batch Reserve offers a masterclass in New World Chardonnay with distinct Old World restraint.
