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 newly released 2022 Domaine Laroche Chablis Saint Martin has some big shoes to fill as the last four vintages have earned 92-points or higher, but the early indications are that this is line with previous vintages if not even a little bit ahead at this stage. The problem is – there’s almost none to go around with much smaller yields. Still this is beautiful and crisp, with good focus, energy and depth. I get the signature green fruits on the nose, with some Asian pear, and a hint of jasmine blossom. There’s a beautiful mineral streak that highlights this one. It’s a fantastic White Burg for the price.
2022 was an absolutely perfect vintage in this respect and unfortunately, I think it will be one of the last, if not THE last. As winegrower Jean-Marc Brocard reported to Decanter: “When we taste the wines, we feel that the balance between acidity and ripeness is very good. It’s a classic style of Chablis. In the end, even after such a heat during summertime, we stay in a cool year reference.” He also alluded to the ageability of the vintage, saying “Let’s give them time, we must let nature do its work.”
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.
Just in time, we got back Vincent Ricard’s all-time great white wine bargain. This is a crisp, clean and flat out delicious Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc. The protege to the Silex-style of Dagueneau – who over the last 15 years has produced flawless and beloved white wines that at last count were on the wine lists of over 36 Michelin-starred restaurants. This is a great house white and one that can surely hold its own with just about everything on the table.
