Walter Scott Sojeau Vineyard Chardonnay Eola-Amity Hills 2022

Walter Scott Sojeau Vineyard Chardonnay 2022 is a compelling single-vineyard white from Eola-Amity Hills in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, where cool-climate conditions and volcanic soils give the wine remarkable precision and lift. It captures the style Walter Scott is known for: focused, elegant Chardonnay with energy, texture, and a distinct sense of place.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright, luminous profile with freshness at the core. Aromas of citrus, white flowers, and toasted almonds lead into a palate layered with ripe pear, lemon zest, and a distinct salty mineral edge. The texture is creamy yet balanced by lively acidity, giving the wine both richness and tension. Subtle oak adds depth without overshadowing the fruit, and the finish is long, vibrant, and finely detailed. This is a Chardonnay with excellent aging potential, likely to gain additional complexity over the next several years.

Production
The Sojeau Vineyard sits at elevation in the Eola-Amity Hills, where cool Pacific winds slow ripening and help preserve freshness while encouraging flavor development. The volcanic terroir contributes to the wine’s striking minerality and structure. The grapes are hand-harvested, then spontaneously fermented and aged in French oak barrels to retain purity while building texture and complexity.

Food & Serving
This Chardonnay is an excellent match for shellfish, grilled fish, lobster, roast chicken, and creamy pasta dishes. Serve it chilled, ideally around 10-12°C, to show both its aromatic detail and vibrant acidity. Decanting is not necessary, though a short period in the glass can help open the wine’s more nuanced aromas.

Producer
Walter Scott is one of Oregon’s most respected modern producers, founded by husband-and-wife team Ken Pahlow and Erica Landon. The winery has built a strong reputation for producing refined, site-driven Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from some of the Willamette Valley’s most expressive vineyard sites. Their wines are widely praised for balance, precision, and a clear sense of identity.
