Complex and attractive nose of grilled lemons, dried pineapples, ash, toasted rosemary, flint and salted butter. So much flavor and intensity here, yet elegant and agile and only medium-bodied, with bright acidity. Fantastic salty undertones. Drink or hold.

Evening Land's tête de cuvée, this deeply reverberating Chardonnay is sourced from just fourteen vine rows grown on volcanic soils at the heart of the Seven Springs Vineyard’s eastern slope. While powerful in structure, it's a svelte, cutting wine with pure, concentrated lime and grapefruit flavours framed in steel and a nervy, quivering backbone of acidity.

The beauty that is Eola-Amity Hills Chardonnay is on full display here. Lemon butter and toasted filbert aromas are joined by a wisp of Genmaicha green tea. Peaches with a touch of cinnamon spice cruise a crisp texture guided by bright acidity. Toasted filberts reappear on the long finish. — Michael Alberty

(94+ points) More savory than sweet, the 2021 Chardonnay Summum blends an array of peaches and apricots before giving way to lemon oil and hints of rosemary. Elegant and silky smooth, with masses of ripe orchard fruits and mineral tones, the 2021 saturates the palate deeply, adding a citrus-induced tension toward the close. The cheeks are left puckered, and the mouth watering for more, as this finishes spicy and intense. It’s lightly structured and simply begging the taster back to the glass. -- Eric Guido

Precise and elegantly dynamic, this white unfurls slowly, offering expressive green apple and Meyer lemon flavors, with stony minerality and spicy lees accents that build detail on the lingering finish. Drink now through 2027. – TF
