Martin Woods Yamhill Chardonnay 2021

Martin Woods Yamhill Chardonnay 2021 is an exceptional premium Oregon Chardonnay from the acclaimed Yamhill Valley Vineyard in the McMinnville AVA, crafted by Martin Woods with a precise terroir-driven philosophy. This beautifully structured Chardonnay reveals layered notes of grilled peach, Meyer lemon, pear, honeycomb, chamomile, cardamom, wet stone minerality, and subtle smoky complexity. Rich texture balanced by vibrant acidity and saline tension creates a polished, age-worthy Chardonnay that beautifully captures Oregon’s cool-climate elegance.

Food Pairing: Butter-poached lobster, seared scallops, roast chicken with herbs, creamy mushroom risotto, grilled halibut, shellfish pasta, soft-ripened cheeses, and elegant seafood dishes.

96 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2021 Chardonnay Yamhill Valley Vineyard is deep and expressive. Matured in French and Oregon oak for 11 months, it has intense aromas of grilled peaches, honeycomb, ginger, mushroom and candle smoke. The medium-bodied palate is youthfully tangy and tense with a coiled core of fruit and saline character that gives it a shimmery feel. It has a luxurious texture that extends the finish, and it's a pleasure to drink straight from the bottle despite its potential for graceful aging.

89 Points - James Suckling

Aromas of baked apples, tarragon and yogurt. Medium- to full-bodied. Ripe and creamy on the palate with a weighty finish. Drink now.
