For the husband and wife team of Erica Landon and Ken Pahlow, 2008 marked the launch of their dream in Oregon’s Willamette Valley: the formation of Walter Scott Wines. Ken had dreams of starting his own label, but had not truly achieved his goal until Erica inspired him to take the leap. In the Spring of that year the two partners emptied their meager retirement accounts and used the funds to design their label and get started. Their 2022 Cuvée Anne Chardonnay is a barrel selection from the best Chardonnay sites Justice, Koosah, Sojeau and Witness Tree Vineyards. It is a blend that represents theirr vision of what Willamette Valley Chardonnay is capable of through the lens of the Eola-Amity Hills.
Cuvée Anne emanates a sense of clarity and precision, unveiling a bouquet of floral intrigue, as honeysuckle, lemon myrtle and orange blossom gracefully entwine, delicately complimented by a subtle hint of oyster shell. The palate boasts savory herb freshness at the forefront, followed by a focused acidity, rich with juicy mandarin orange alongside the essence of ripe yellow and white peaches. While retaining its classic Chardonnay character, the 2022 Cuvée Anne delivers an unparalleled density and power along with its generously mouth watering finish.
