The 2022 Siduri Chardonnay from the Willamette Valley is a bright and engaging expression of the varietal clarity. Aged for 10 months in 20% new French oak, it shows a lean, polished frame with a light lemon hue at the core and a delicate, watery meniscus .On the nose and palate, it layers golden apple, preserved lemon, and white nectarine, bringing a restrained orchard-fruit vibrancy. Subtle threads of dried thyme and chamomile introduce a savory edge, while a fine saline undertow lends it coastal freshness. The oak influence is present but not overpowering, giving just enough texture and creaminess without masking its lift or precision. 276 cases made.
White peach and chamomile flowers are inviting on the nose of this structured and elegant white. Coming from vineyards located 12 miles from the Pacific Ocean in the Itata Valley, the wine's creamy palate is rich in tangerine and orange flavors. Hints of honey and wood spice accompanied the fruit. - JR
Another really light wine in the glass. Subtle on the nose with some fruit coming through eventually, mostly peach. Lovely, yet subtle on the palate, too, with good balance, but still on the shy side, for sure. Quite Provençal in both appearance and style.

The 2023 Shiraz King's Wood is a more gently framed expression under this label, with cola, dried meat and clove aromas with a subtle dusting of celery salt. Young and tightly bound, the oak is a little heavy-handed for the underlying fruit ripeness, which tightens up on the finish.

Mid-straw and bright in the glass. Lifted aromas of quince, stone-fruit, wheat puff, white flowers and guava. Textured, nutty, creamy and mouth-filling. Nectarine, honeydew, honey and nougat flavours all working together. The acidity is bright and snappy and there's some grippy phenolics plying their trade and delivering savouriness and length.

A light hue in the glass, this wine offers raspberry, cranberry and rose-petal potpourri aromas that are balanced by scents of crushed gravel and dusty trails. The palate snaps with brisk red fruit, light thyme and oregano flavors. —M.K.
Stirred on lees for five months in a mix of stainless steel and Amphorae. Granny Smith apple, elderflower cordial and lime pith. A hint of fennel and freshness of a cucumber melon. This has a hint of margarita salt salinity and is just as addictive. Crunchy, linear and fresh. Drink now
Bright and shiny medium red-purple colour; reserved bouquet with sweet raspberry/red-cherry bonbon aromas.
