The Walter Scott Winery was founded in 2008 and has achieved well-deserved plaudits for their wines in a very short time. Located in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA of Oregon, Walter Scott produces a variety of fine Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines. The 2021 Cuvée Anne Chardonnay is a selection of barrels from five vineyard sites. The bouquet is rich and forward with ripe apple, pineapple, and citrus fruits underlain by intriguing buttery, floral and baking spice hints. The flavors reflect the promise of the nose. Lovely tropical fruit, apple and pear flavors are backed by a buttery richness and hints of rich lemon, vanilla and spice. Its buttery and creamy texture is enhanced by the lemon and subtle spice nuances that linger at the refreshing finish.
