Cristom Chardonnay, Eola-Amity Hills 2021

Cristom Chardonnay from Oregon’s Eola-Amity Hills is a polished expression of Willamette Valley Chardonnay, combining bright citrus energy with a refined, lightly creamy texture. It stands out for its balance of freshness, subtle oak influence, and the cool-climate elegance that has made the region so highly regarded for Chardonnay.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Chardonnay shows a straw-yellow color that hints at its freshness and clarity. The nose opens with citrus fruits like lemon and grapefruit, alongside green apple and a gentle buttery note that adds a touch of richness. On the palate, it is lively and well-balanced, with flavors of lemon, green apple, and pear lifted by a crisp line of acidity. Subtle notes of toasted oak and vanilla bring depth without overpowering the fruit, leading to a clean, lingering finish. Enjoy now for its brightness and precision, though it has the structure to age gracefully for a few years.

Production
Grown in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, the wine reflects the cool-climate terroir of Eola-Amity Hills, where conditions help preserve acidity and aromatic finesse. The fruit is harvested with attention to ripeness and freshness, then vinified to highlight purity of fruit while integrating a measured amount of oak influence for added complexity.

Food & Serving
