Walter Scott 'Cuvée Anne' Chardonnay Willamette Valley, 2023

This wine opens with a captivating complexity driven by fruity and aromatic notes, including honeyed ginger, ripe apricot flesh, and dried white flowers, all intertwined with a subtle nutty, savory undertone. On the palate, it is rich and juicy, with vibrant smoky lemon peel and ripe stone fruits that meld seamlessly into a luscious poached pear character. The wine is a true expression of its terroir, with the barrel selection adding depth and nuance, perfectly embodying the distinctive vision of Willamette Valley Chardonnay. With only 750 cases made, it offers an exceptional reflection of this iconic terroir. Pair with poached salmon and a dill cream sauce or paella prepared over wood fire.
