In 2018 Jim Maresh was honored to receive enough Chardonnay from the legendary original vines of The Eyrie Vineyard to make 1 barrel. Two words: understated brilliance. With so, so little made you won't get too many more words from us.
50 year-old Dundee Hills Draper Selection Chardonnay vines. A subtle and complex nose of crushed rock, tarragon, star fruit, applewood smoke and pacific ocean. Light to medium body. Refreshing and highly restrained for the vintage. Weightless yellow fruits, green apple, salted lime and loads of minerality with a peach scone barrel note on the long tension filled finish. Distinctive Oregon Chardonnay planted by Diana and David Lett in 1968.
