A superb Chardonnay! Aromas of Anise and Honeysuckle. Apple and Honey on the bud. Crisp and smooth with a long finish. Great with our Salmon tonight. Need to order more from Evening Springs as we were extremely impressed with their wines when we visited earlier this year. — 5 months ago

La Source, Seven Springs Estate Chardonnay 2022. Eola-Amity Hills AVA, Oregon. USA🇺🇸

Overview
A distinctive cool-climate Chardonnay sourced from the celebrated Seven Springs Estate in Eola-Amity Hills, delivering precision, freshness, and layered texture rather than overt richness. This is a terroir-driven expression that challenges the classic American Chardonnay stereotype, emphasizing tension, mineral lift, and elegant restraint.

Aromas & Flavors
Fresh lemon zest, green apple, pear skin, and subtle white peach lead the nose. Delicate floral notes and faint almond skin weave through the aromatics, supported by gentle saline minerality. On the palate, crisp citrus, orchard fruit, and chalky mineral tones unfold with clarity and finesse, finishing clean and sharply defined.

Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied, vibrant, and tightly framed with refreshing acidity and a fine-textured mid-palate. The wine carries precision and lift without sacrificing mouthfeel, offering energy rather than weight, and maintaining excellent balance through the finish.

Food Pairings
Grilled halibut or sole with lemon butter. Roast chicken with herbs. Dungeness crab. Seared scallops. Fresh chèvre or triple-cream cheese.

Verdict
A beautifully calibrated Chardonnay that reframes expectations for Oregon and American expressions alike. Elegant, crisp, and quietly complex, it showcases how site-driven winemaking can deliver depth without excess.

Did You Know?
The Eola-Amity Hills AVA benefits from the Van Duzer Corridor winds, which cool the vineyards, thicken grape skins, and preserve natural acidity, a key reason the region excels with Burgundian varieties like Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

🍷 Personal Pick
This wine genuinely shifted my perspective on Chardonnay from this location. Crisp, expressive, and quietly layered, it delivers charm and clarity without heaviness, a Chardonnay for precision lovers rather than oak seekers. — 4 months ago

This version includes Cabernet, Petit Verdot , cab franc and Shiraz and it was delightful. Warm plum and prune flavors rounded and begging another sip. Nice finish. — 2 months ago

Clear, deep ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with medium intensity primary and secondary aromas of blackberries, cassis, and graphite; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, high tannins, high alcohol, full body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of black cherries, blueberries, black cardamom and bell pepper with a long finish. This wine is complex and intense. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. — 3 months ago
