Morgen Long - Chardonnay Willamette Valley 2021
Jeb Dunnuck: 93 Points
"With 80% of the fruit coming from the Eola-Amity Hills AVA, and aged in 25% new French oak, the youthful straw-colored 2021 Chardonnay Willamette Valley is fresh and lively, with aromas of crisp green apple, fresh lime, white flowers, and wet stone. Continuing to the palate with fantastic focus, this wine is drinking beautifully right out of the gate and will no doubt continue to drink well over the coming 5-7 years."-Audrey Frick
A View from the Cellar: 93 Points
The 2021 Chardonnay “Willamette Valley” bottling from Seth Long was made from fruit from seven different top vineyards, spread between the Dundee Hills, Yamhill-Carlton and Eola-Amity Hills appellations. The wine ended up being raised in twenty-four percent new oak and was given a year of barrel aging before assemblage and a finishing six months of aging in stainless steel tank. It tips the scales at a svelte 12.8 percent octane in 2021 and offers up a beautifully expressive bouquet of pear, golden delicious apple, fresh almond, lemon blossoms, a lovely foundation of soil tones and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is crisp, elegant and full-bodied, with fine depth at the core, good mineral undertow, lovely focus and grip and a long, complex and seamlessly balanced finish. This is lovely juice.
