The ambassador. Yellow and green citrus with an accent that reminded me of the best marzipan croissant I've ever had (L'Etoile!). I adore the way this smells, moves, stretches, exemplifying what we prize in Willamette Chard. - Marcus
Aromas of wet rocks, lemon oil, lime curd, almond paste, graham, ginger, wood spice.

The surprise standout. Opening like molten gold, backed by voluminous fruit, texture, and length. The kaffir lime cream note that comes out with time is marvelous. While not the least expensive, the strongest in quality-to-price. - Marcus
Aromas of flint, oyster shells, wet rocks, mixed citrus oil, kaffir, mint, white flowers and ginger crème. Coiled, explosive flavors and smooth textures expand as an elegant richness grows towards the finish. From two non-irrigated vineyards planted in mixed volcanic basalt soils, 60% Seven Springs/40% Durant Vineyards. - Seth

The paradox. The sky opens, the Chardonnay sun sparkles and shines with vivacity and freshness. What comes next is the beautiful paradox of the best wines: density, weight and roundness yet with supreme delicacy, airiness and transparency. This wine makes you feel it. My favorite Chardonnay from Seven Springs. - Marcus
Aromas of lime oil, lemon curd, white peach, ginger, pistachio crème, waffle, with wet stones, flint and woodspice. Crystalline flavors, vibrant acidity, layered with dense, fine textures, all weightless and lingering. - Seth

The David. A profound wine, chiseled from a legendary block of Chardonnay gold, the density, weight, and class this exudes is worthy of museum. Extremely limited. - Marcus
Aromas of musk melon, white peach, mandarin oil, ginger crème, almond paste, honeycomb, warm minerals. Silken texture and golden flavors are full bodied and dense, surrounding a core of supple acidity. Organically farmed, non-irrigated 1968-planted Draper selection, hailing from European plant material brought to Draper Ranch, Napa Valley in the 1930’s. - Seth

The sleeper. What begins as racy, even boisterous settles into itself wonderfully on day two. Sly back-end power and a mesmerizing spice and mineral component had me fully engaged. - Marcus
Aromas of chalk, lemongrass, mint, grapefruit, lime, Asian pear, almond meal, graham, wood spice. Racy acidity, vivid flavors, chalky textures smooth together, faceted, limber yet powerful and long to finish. - Seth
