Violin's 2021 Chardonnay from Willamette Valley is a wine that foregrounds place over overworking the palate. Bottled in a 750ml format, it blends fruit from a handful of valley sites to build a cohesive regional expression rather than a single-vineyard designation.

The wine is fermented and aged in a mix of barrels, with careful attention paid to preserving natural acidity, and it is bottled without heavy filtration to retain texture and aromatic detail. This restrained approach lets the fruit drive the final blend, yielding a wine that speaks clearly of the vineyards it comes from.

Tasting notes

Openings of lemon curd, orange peel, and white flowers unfold into layered notes of stone fruit and melon, with a subtle kiss of vanilla. The palate is creamy yet bright, and the acidity carries a long, textured finish.

Food pairings

  • Scallops in lemon butter
  • Goat cheese salad
  • Roast chicken with a citrus glaze
93 Points
"The 2021 Chardonnay Willamette Valley opens in the glass with a pretty

blend of crushed yellow apples, spring flowers and wet stone,

complemented by hints of ground ginger. It soothes with its soft textures

and ripe orchard fruits as a gentle tinge of savory spice adds contrast, all

guided by a core of juicy acidity. This becomes saline, nearly salty and

almost flinty in character, as a lemony concentration lingers, leaving the

palate completely refreshed. Fantastic.
