This is Chardonnay from the hillside where Willamette Valley wine began: The Eyrie Vineyard in the Dundee Hills, where David and Diana Lett replanted the first 3,000 vines in the Willamette Valley. The Chardonnay here is the Draper selection, a French import from the 1930s that no longer exists outside the region. By 2023 those vines were 55 years old. Jason Lett took over as winemaker and vineyard manager from his father in 2005. In 2023 a cold, dry spring gave way to heavy April rain, then a warm, dry summer with cool nights. They single out aromatics as the vintage's standout, with moderate alcohol and firm, balanced structure. If you want to know what Oregon Chardonnay tastes like from its roots, this is the bottle to open. (The vineyard is named for the red-tailed hawks whose nest, or eyrie, is still there every year.)

"Smoky reduction gives way to crushed almonds, incense and dusty florals, all complicating dried apricots as the 2023 Chardonnay The Eyrie Vineyards blossoms in the glass. The palate traverses savory and sweet, with ripe orchard fruits and a cascade of sweet spice offset by a tinge of sour citrus and crunchy mineral tones. Exceptional length and clarity define this 2023 Chardonnay, which really plays with the palate and leaves the mouth watering for more. Flinty nuances linger well over a minute." —Eric Guido

"The 2023 Chardonnay The Eyrie comes from vines planted in 1965 and 1968. Initial wafts of flint give way to red apple, quince, roasted hazelnuts, beeswax and wet stone aromas. The light-bodied palate is satiny and mouth coating with expansive, honey-nut flavors. It’s balanced by pleasurably tangy acidity and has a very long, layered finish. It should be long lived in the cellar. 153 cases were made." —Erin Brooks

More about Eyrie

David Lett came to Oregon in 1965 to plant Pinot Noir in the Willamette Valley, against his professors' advice, and released Eyrie's first vintage in 1970. He and his wife Diana also made the first Pinot Gris in the United States. His 1975 Reserve placed in the top ten at the 1979 Wine Olympics, then came second, by two-tenths of a point, to a 1959 Burgundy in Robert Drouhin's rematch. Their son Jason now carries on the vision that put Oregon on the Pinot map.

Flatiron's Take

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Dungeness crab with drawn butter; pan-seared halibut with brown butter and capers; roast chicken with tarragon; morel or chanterelle risotto; fresh chèvre with hazelnuts.

Tasting Profile

Expect a restrained, cool-climate take on Oregon Chardonnay: green apple, lemon and ripe pear with a subtle savoury note and a stony, mineral edge. It is typically medium-bodied with bright, lively acidity and finishes dry, clean and persistent. Think closer to white Burgundy or Chablis than to rich, buttery California Chardonnay.
