00 Wines EGW Chardonnay 2023 (750ML)

95 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "Lots of flint and matchstick on the nose with sliced-lemon and apple aromas that follow through to a medium body with a tight, focused palate and a crisp, lively finish. The phenolics come out at the end with a lightly chewy texture. Some lemongrass undertones. Drink now or hold." 10/25

96 Points, Clive Pursehouse, Decanter: "This wine blends clones and appellations, with Dijon clones from the Eola-Amity Hills and Old Wente Chardonnay from the very old vine site, Chehalem Mountain Vineyard. It has a reductive and smoky aromatic profile with flashes of fresh-cut lemon, chipped flint, and seaspray. There's a vibrance to this Chardonnay, yet it carries weight in the texture with flavours of salted lemon wedge, lifted citrus zest, and a salty oyster brine that carries through the finish. It's fresh and zesty. (Drink between 2025-2039)" 04/25
