"Witness Tree is a plot many are excited about in the Willamette Valley, which has recently come under new ownership. The wine shows iron and loads of minerality, along with grilled lemon peel and lime seeds. The palate shows lemon pith, dried lime leaf and a steely mineral tang. The site is at 250m, tucked in near the top of the ridge. Young vines planted in 2019 are already producing compelling wines. Seth believes that the intention of these young vine sites is all about intentional approaches to the grape and seriousness with Chardonnay planting. Made with 28% new oak."-Clive Pursehouse

"Savory to the core, the 2022 Chardonnay Witness Tree Vineyard smolders up with an array of dusty sage, green apples and gingery spice. Soothingly round yet cool-toned in feel, this impresses with its contrasting nature as ripe fruits offset citrusy acidity and salty mineral tones. It puckers the cheeks with residual tension, tapering off long and potent while keeping the mouth watering for more. The Witness Tree Vineyard Chardonnay was one of the most heavily yield-affected wines in 2022, more a result of downy mildew than frost. Production totaled only 90 cases."-Eric Guido
