This Eola-Amity bottling is comprised of some of the appellations' most choice sites. Two-thirds Seven Springs and one-third X Omni vineyard with less than 20% new oak. It's a wine loaded with verve and electricity?aromas of crunchy sea salt and lime pith transition to crushed stone. The palate is lean and angular with pulsating vibrancy. It's the most aromatic of Morgen Long's line-up. Many once-filled barrels give the palate characteristics of smoky flint crushed slate and dried lime leaves. Gorgeous. (Drink between 2024-2037)

I tasted the 2022 Chardonnay Eola-Amity Hills from tank two months before it was due to be bottled. It comes from the Seven Springs Vineyard (67%) and X Omni Vineyard (33%) and the wine was matured for one year in 17% new oak and six months in stainless steel. It opens with ringing aromas of golden apples almonds beeswax acacia and matchstick. The light-bodied palate has a silky texture concentrated expansive flavors a foil of tangy acidity and a long energetic finish. It will be filtered before bottling. 300 cases are expected.
