"Oregon Finds Finesse with Chardonnay" - Harvey Steiman, Wine Spectator

"The interplay of vivid flavors against a razor-sharp, mouthwatering balance has emerged as the signature style of Oregon Chardonnay." - Harvey Steiman

When Chardonnay was first planted in Oregon vineyards, it had trouble ripening due to the cooler weather of the Willamette Valley. The arrival of the Dijon Clones in the 1990s, a cooler climate Chardonnay clone, turned things around and Oregon has begun to produce wines that can compete with Chardonnays from both California and France.

Our 2010 REX HILL Willamette Valley Chardonnay received 90 points from Wine Spectator and was featured in an article by Harvey Steiman that discusses the evolution of Oregon Chardonnay. Steiman believes that the 2011 vintage produced some "stunning Chradonnays." We agree!

The Tasting Room will be closed on Thursday, November 3rd for our annual hospitality summit. We will reopen on Friday, November 4th from 11am-5pm.

 

The health and safety of our customers and staff are our primary concern as restrictions on our county are relaxed. We are currently assessing how we will again open to the public in a safe and healthy way and will continue to post updates on our website as our plans solidify.

 

In the meantime, we are still able to take your calls, answer emails, and pack wine to deliver to your door. To arrange a wine delivery, please reach out to Jamie, our Wine Club Manager at jamie@rexhill.com. 

 

Stay well. We look forward to seeing you again before too long for a toast!
