"The 2023 Chardonnay Estate has expressive aromas of peach, nectarine, hazelnut, beeswax and chamomile. The medium-bodied palate has a silky texture and expansive, honey-nut flavors. Vibrant acidity adds tension, and it has a long, energetic finish." —Erin Brooks

Decanter

93 points

"Pleasantly reductive in the aromatics with ample sea salt, white pepper and ginger spicing up an array of stone fruits and a deep tone of lemon oil. The Estate Chardonnay from Bethel Heights is sourced from five different blocks across two vineyards, Justice and the Bethel Heights estate property. Four clones, including dashes of Wente, comprise this wine, with vines planted between 1977 and 1999. The palate is taut and electric, with rich lemon curd, Juicy Meyer lemon, and a briny streak of oyster shell leading well through the finish."

"Plush and sleek, with a vibrant core of green apple, lemon curd and cinnamon flavors that glide on the steely finish. Drink now."

More about Bethel Heights

One of the Willamette Valley's pioneering estates. In 1977 twin brothers Ted and Terry Casteel, their wives Pat Dudley and Marilyn Webb, and Pat's sister Barbara planted Pinot Noir on the west slope of the Eola Hills, northwest of Salem. The first estate wines came in 1984, with Terry making them until 2007, when his son Ben took over. They were early adopters of Salmon-Safe and LIVE certification, and their site-named Pinots and Chardonnays are terroir-driven, elegant and built to age.
