97 points Vinous: "The 2023 Chardonnay Maresh seduces with a burst of crushed flint stones, dusty sage, nectarines, and gingery spice. Its textures are otherwordly, nearly oily yet sleek with a sour citrus nervousness that excites the palate as opulently ripe apricot settles on the senses. Despite its weight and intensity, this 2023 Chardonnay leaves the palate reeling with tension, salty and lime, with a strong mineral resonance that adds lasting crunchiness. Gorgeous today yet balanced for a long evolution."
Us: Jim Maresh's masterpiece, a magical Nectar of the Gods experience. A mountainous mid-palate with textural richness that sails, amazingly it is also mouthwatering, fresh, and bright. In our view—based on tasting pretty much everything the Willamette Valley has to offer—there's nothing else quite like it.
It's fitting that we return to the winery's origin: Maresh Vineyard Chardonnay. A handful of our readers recall the thrill of discovering Jim Arterberry Maresh's first release: 2005 Maresh Chard. Chardonnay is and has always been Jim's favorite grape. Practically ever since that first release, we've said "if you don't know Jim's Chardonnay you don't know Jim."
From a small block of Wente clone Chardonnay planted in 1983, while Jim's mother was carrying him—talk about returning to origins, it was preordained that Jim would one day turn those grapes into magical liquid gold.
