"...bright, full-bodied, focused and rock solid at the core, with lovely mineral drive and grip, zesty acids and lovely length and grip on the complex and very nicely balanced finish."

| "Fans of the style of Jean-Marc Roulot in Meursault will certainly like what Seth Long is doing in the Willamette Valley."
John Gilman, View From The Cellar |
| "Seth Morgen Long is causing quite a stir in the Oregon wine industry. A restaurant professional from a young age, in 2009 he began working with influential winemakers in New Zealand, Oregon, California, and, most importantly, Burgundy at Domaine de Montille. He returned to Oregon and began producing his own wine in 2014 with a clear vision to produce site-sensitive Willamette Valley Chardonnay - ONLY. In 2014, he began in earnest with one vineyard. In 2016, he expanded to three sites; in 2017, he worked with six sites. In 2020, the number of Willamette Valley Chardonnay sites has expanded to eight. With a singular focus on Willamette Valley Chardonnay, Morgen Long is crafted with great reverence to history, grape, time, and place. Fruit is hand-picked according to the vintage, and is pressed uniquely, taking into consideration the site’s pedigree, yield, and vintage character. After pressing, the juice is carefully moved into barrel or stainless steel with an appropriate volume of solids for fermentation. Fermentation is with indigenous, ambient yeasts when possible and takes place in new and neutral 114L, 228L, 350L, and 500L French oak barrels; sometimes fermentations start in stainless steel tanks before being moved into oak. Lees are only stirred as needed, typically once or twice towards the end of primary fermentation, while CO2 is still present. Malolactic always occurs. Once primary and malolactic are complete, the wines age with minimal effective sulfur. After one year in barrel in a cold cellar, the wines and lees are transferred to stainless steel with inert gas to blend and integrate for a second winter."

Josh Raynolds., Vinous

| "The 2020 vintage of Seven Springs Vineyard chardonnay from Morgen Long was raised in sixty percent new oak this year (new Damy five hundred liter puncheon) and forty percent in a one wine three hundred and fifty liter cask. The wines comes in at 13.2 percent this year, with ninety cases produced. It offers up a beautifully gentle oak shading in its bouquet of pear, almond, chalky soil tones, chamomile, spring flowers and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, focused and rock solid at the core, with lovely mineral drive and grip, zesty acids and lovely length and grip on the complex and very nicely balanced finish. This is a new oaky example of chardonnay that is also long on soil signature. Fine juice."
