The Seven Springs 2019 Chardonnay from Morgen Long was my absolute favorite and one of the best Chardonnays from the Willamette Valley of the 2019 vintage. Sporting a medium lemon core with a silvery rim, the nose is lively and vivacious with notes of fresh yellow apple, cinnamon-coated pear, Chinese sweet and sour spice, white pepper, and a touch of flinty matchstick - all well defined and present. A harmonious palate gifts additional flavors of yellow flower blossom and crushed wet stone, ending with a saline and orchard fruit finish that goes on for literally minutes. If you want to experience what Oregon can do, then find a bottle of this wine from Seth Long and be richly rewarded. Just 90 cases produced. Highly recommended.
