Review: |
"The 2021 Chardonnay X Novo is layered and lifted with a perfume of yellow orchard fruit, white flowers, and lemon verbena. The palate is pure, with ripe peach, lemon curd, and salty earth, and the texture is long and persistent, with great clarity. There is so much to love about this wine. Drink 2025-2035. Walter Scott was founded in 2008 by Erica Landon and her husband Ken Pahlow. Their first vintage was produced in 2009 out of Patricia Green Cellars, then at Evening Land, where Ken worked alongside Dominique Lafon. This clearly had an influence on the wines of Walter Scott, where they began producing Chardonnay in 2011. The next year they moved to their current winery space, which is located in front of the Justice Vineyard of the Eola-Amity Hills. They continue to raise the bar across their portfolio and are producing exceptional wines with purity and balance. The majority of these wines were tasted out of the barrel during my visit to the winery in July of 2022." |
