The 2008 Chardonnay Original Vines Reserve was made entirely from the Draper clone. It is light gold in color with an expressive nose of mineral, pear, spiced apple, floral notes, and white peach. Savory, rich, and elegant on the palate, it will continue to evolve for several years (Eyrie’s Chardonnays can have amazing longevity) and drink well for a decade or more.
A visit to The Eyrie Vineyards and Jason Lett is always a highlight of my 2 weeks in Willamette Valley. Jason pursues his (and his late father’s) vision of viticulture and winemaking with little or no regard to what others are doing, and it seems to work out just fine.
