| "In the midst of sommelier training, I pivoted and began working harvest in the Willamette Valley at wineries in 2009. I traveled for internships in Central Otago, New Zealand, and the Santa Cruz Mountains in 2011, before returning to the Willamette Valley. In 2012, I worked harvest at Domaine De Montille in Meursault. I returned to Meursault in the fall of 2013, to focus 100% on Chardonnay. What I found in Meursault was the blueprint for my life’s great work in the Willamette Valley. I started with one vineyard partner in 2014 and produced three and a half barrels of Chardonnay. By 2021, fruit from eight vineyard partners in ten blocks yielded fifty barrels: 100% Willamette Valley Chardonnay. Sincerity and reverence guide me. Each fall, I begin again, grateful for every harvest. Each winter, I attend to the wines and refine. Each spring, I bottle. Each summer, I host. Morgen Long is named after my family who sacrificed and made good decisions so I could be." Seth Morgen Long |
| | | "The 2020 Durant Vineyard bottling of Chardonnay from Seth Long is from vines that were planted in 1999 and 2000, so they are really starting to come into their prime today. The wine comes in at 13.2% octane this year and was aged in 40% new oak for eleven and a half months prior to assemblage in stainless steel for its second winter and bottling in the following Spring. The bouquet is simply stunning this year, wafting from the glass in a refined blend of apple, pear, salty minerality, apple blossoms, fresh almond, and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused, and beautifully precise, with zesty acids, a superb core of fruit, great mineral drive and balance and a long, complex, and vibrant finish. This is truly stunning." 95
