"The 2022 Chardonnay X Omni Vineyard is understated in the glass, slowly evolving with hints of raw almond, white flowers, freshly sliced nectarines and chlorophyll. This seductress is elegant and refined with medium-weight textures and vividly ripe orchard fruits, all offset by a salty tinge toward the close. It finishes long and youthfully structured, leaving a crunchy, nearly chalky sensation that resonates. What a beauty. Patience will be required to reveal its hidden charms. The"-Eric Guido X Omni was refined in 70% new oak."-Eric Guido

"Seth believes that X Omni is Oregon's most serious Chardonnay site, planted to 4 hectares of Chardonnay. Seth gets blocks 4 and 5, which are younger vines. This wine is a concentration of saline elements, and grilled citrus, lemon drop candy powder, and juicy citrus are braced by petrichor and spice. The palate reflects the spine-tingling minerality with lots of green mangoes and grilled pineapple. Oak and reduction give Seth his smoky citrus signature; he goes for structure and texture; his technique is so constrained (in each wine) that he hopes to show the site signature in each bottling. This wine is complex owing to the marriage of the two blocks with the differing ripeness. He really pushes this wine from pressing to oak."-Clive Pursehouse
