00 WINES Chardonnay, Willamette Valley ‘EGW’ 2021

The 2021 Extra Good White from 00 Wines comes from the Seven Springs South Block, which holds Jory volcanic soils, and Chehalem Mountain Vineyard Block B3, which contains sedimentary soils. A core of shimmering neon lemon with a silver rim in the glass, it’s powerful yet elegant in structure. White peach, Meyer lemon, flint, crushed white rocks, sea breeze, and shades of dried sage spill from the glass. Lemony acidity lifts the perfected backbone, you actually feel the tension across the tongue. It finishes strong with a mineral note that goes on forever. Enjoy now or over the next 15 years with proper cellaring. 316 cases produced. Highly recommended.
