In Oregon, the path to success while not easy is well trod. Make great Pinot Noir, (easier said than done, especially 30 years ago) build your winery and then finance the rest of your wine program around that.
But one winery chose a slightly different path. Always a wine lover and with two small parcels that he already owned, Ed King hit pay dirt one day while purchasing hay for his horses by discovering an ideal 600-acre cattle ranch near Eugene, Oregon.
Because their land was further south than most of the Willamette Valley wine pioneers before them, Pinot Noir might have been an easy cash cow, but Pinot Gris was the ideal grape for the terroir and climate.
Never taking the easy way out, the family committed themselves to sustainable farming, becoming the first biodynamic winery in the state — a novel concept at the time that has since become the norm for all the region’s top estates. By 1994, they had rigorously matched each tiny parcel to its perfect clone – creating the most clonally diverse soil and climate-matched vineyard in Oregon.

From a certified biodynamic vineyard, this white offers mouth coating flavors of apple, peach and grapefruit brightened by sappy acidity. The vivid freshness and exceptional length of this wine make it a good match for poultry, pork, pasta salads and seafood.

The 2016 vintage in Napa was nearly perfect for winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val). With ideal weather all throughout harvest, he crafted the Faustini Money Road Chardonnay off the famous vineyard located in the coveted Oakville AVA. The picturesque vineyard off Oakville Crossroad is platinum rated, known for its ideal combination of soil & climate and the big A list names that routinely source fruit. Kian’s Money Road Chard is still youthful despite having a few years of age, probably as a result of its 18 months of slumber in 1/4 new Oak.

“The 2018 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard marks the beginning of winemaker Joe Nielsen’s tenure at the winery. Pouring a medium yellow with a light golden hue, it’s most reserved of the flight aromatically at the moment, with yellow chamomile flowers, ripe peach, beeswax, and white flowers. Full-bodied, it retains excellent tension and focus on the palate, with apricot, orange zest, and a savory finish with a bit of spice. I suspect this will come around and open with time. Drink 2024-2030.” -Jeb Dunnuck
It’s hard to beat a great value white wine and this one is a at least a cut above the rest. One prominant industry insider called the 2022 edition, “the best white wine by any within $20/cs of this price.” It’s super crisp with a great mineral streak, and was carefully picked by hand when the temperature is coolest and is kept cool all the way into the press. From there, the effect of the mineral soil takes over, providing great finesse and freshness in every bottle. This white blend has great backbone and a lot of juicy fruit coming through behind aromas of flowers and stone fruits. At this price, it’s a no brainer.
Glistening pale yellow-green to the rim, infused with mouth-watering aromas of ripe apple, pear and quince, and crushed almonds with honey and rich creamy middle and a fantastic rush of acidity and minerality that are present throughout. A calling card of Bonhomme’s Vire-Clesse, if you closed your eyes and took a sip, it would have you convinced you were drinking Meursault at least a 3x price tag.
