Walter Scott, Chardonnay Cuvee Anne, 2023

$63.00

Walter Scott is a small Willamette Valley winery focused on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir shaped by vineyard character, restrained winemaking, and the cool-climate conditions of western Oregon. Cuvée Anne is the estate’s appellation-level Chardonnay, sourced from a selection of sustainably farmed vineyards across the Eola-Amity Hills and surrounding Willamette Valley sites. Fermented with native yeasts and aged in French oak, the wine reflects the freshness and mineral tension shaped by the region’s volcanic soils and marine influence.

The 2023 vintage is bright and finely textured, offering notes of lemon curd, green apple, pear, citrus blossom, and crushed stone alongside subtle hazelnut and spice. The palate is energetic and focused, balancing vibrant acidity with layered texture and a long, saline finish. Precise yet approachable, the wine captures the lifted, mineral-driven style that has made Walter Scott one of Oregon’s benchmark Chardonnay producers.

Varietal: Chardonnay
Appellation: Willamette Valley, Oregon
Farming: Sustainably farmed
Style: White. Fresh, textured, and mineral-driven
