| "The whites are inspired by Coche-Dury, while the delicious Pinot Noirs pay homage to Domaine Leroy."
Charles Curtis MW, Decanter Magazine |
| "Stunners, without question."
Josh Raynolds, Vinous |
| | | "In their inaugural 2015 vintage Chris and Kathryn [Hermann] made a total of 600 cases of wine. By 2016, when they made 1,200 cases, they’d settled on a winemaking regime that’s straight out of Burgundy.
And by the 2017 vintage, with a total of 2,000 cases made, word really began to spread that they were on to something. Not only were they receiving 95-, 96-, and 97-point ratings throughout their portfolio, but one of their wines had been called 'the best domestic Chardonnay ever made.' |
| | The project’s success was in a way pre-ordained. A second-generation Oregonian, Chris spent more than three decades doing vineyard deals as a lawyer in the Willamette Valley, learning its terroirs and its vineyards like the back of his hand. As a child, his father, a renowned plant geneticist at Oregon State, took him around to meet all the early Oregon greats. Talking with him is like going to class on the history of Oregon winemaking over the past 50 years. Chris had had the dual privilege of drinking David Lett’s pioneering Eyrie Chardonnays from the 1960s, while spending his entire adult life drinking great white Burgundy. And so he had a sense of the possibilities …. In short, Chris and Kathryn weren’t satisfied just making excellent Oregon Chardonnay. They wanted the kind of magic you get in a glass of Roulot or Coche. And to get it, they linked up with one of the most brilliant winemakers in Burgundy, Pierre Millemann ....
As Chris told The Somm Journal’s Michelle Metter, 'It’s an incredible dance between human ideas and nature’s gifts. For us, this is about pushing Chardonnay to its capacity [and] producing distinctively textured and aromatic wines in a relentless pursuit of the extraordinary.' The proof of their success is in the bottle. In their purity and diversity of expression, these are among the most exciting Chardonnays (regardless of origin) we’ve ever encountered."

| | ‣ "A ripe youthful yellow hue, the 2021 Chardonnay VGW is fantastic out of the gates, with ripe aromas of white smoke, lemon balm, salty earth, and white peach. From all volcanic soils, the 2021 Chardonnay VGW is ripe through the palate with generous notes of salted pineapple fruit and a rounded feel, although it’s clean as a whistle and has a fresh lift of acidity."
Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck.com |
| | | | ‣ "Undoubtedly one of the best Chardonnays produced in America today, this is a gripping, textured wine with a richness of extraction offset by striking freshness. Stone fruit and pear flavours are cutting and pure, limned in subtle, savoury smoke and a gorgeously briney streak of minerality. A powerful, stately wine that should improve through this next decade and hold further still."
Anna Lee C. Iijima, Decanter Magazine |
| | | | ‣ "A bright yellow hue, the 2021 Chardonnay Seven Springs Vineyard is vibrant with great energy and focus, offering notes of lime zest, crushed stone, flinty earth, and white peach. Medium-bodied with outstanding electric energy throughout, it has a more linear, focused feel and a long, persistent finish."
Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck.com |
| | | | ‣ "Sourced from three vineyards, the ripe but transparent red 2021 Pinot Noir VGR is a lovely expression of a regional wine, with ripe raspberry, mossy earth, and spicy notes of licorice. Juicy and approachable on the palate, with juicy fruit filling its medium frame, it’s long on the palate, with fine tannins and a hint of warming spice on the finish."
