After crushing it in Santa Barbara with projects like Sandhi and Domaine de la Côte, it seems like a no-brainer that Rajat Parr and Sashi Moorman would seek out another inimitable location to grow great Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Enter the Seven Springs vineyard - a 40-year-old dry farmed vineyard in Eola-Amity Hills – a site long recognized as one of the best in Oregon. Fruit for this cuvée is farmed biodynamically and whole cluster pressed after harvest. After fermentation, the wine spends 9 months in barrel followed by 6 months in stainless steel before release. Mouthwatering acid, a subtle hint of baking spice, and a linear palate of ripe yellow fruit shows just what Willamette Valley Chardonnay can do.
