96 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): “The first vintage of Chardonnay Sigrid was produced in 2006, before people really believed in Willamette Valley Chardonnay. Always coming from the oldest vines, the 2021 Chardonnay Sigrid marries the three appellations that they work with in the Chehalem Mountains, Dundee Hills, and Ribbon Ridge. It pours a bright yellow hue with a youthful tinge of green and is more complete on the nose, with layered notes of lemon curd, poached pear, jasmine, and salty earth. It’s medium to full-bodied, with upfront salinity, but has a weightless feel, a clean, decadent texture, and a long finish. It’s going to drink fantastically over the next 10 or more years. Drink: 2024-2034. (Aug 2024)”
96 points James Suckling: “Opulent but also elegant, this wine is relatively light in body yet creamy and ethereal in texture. Meyer lemons, meringue and vanilla bean flavors are layered lightly and lifted by energizing acidity. Very long and tasty in the finish. Drink now or hold. (3/6/24)”
95 points Eric Guido (Vinous): “The 2021 Chardonnay Sigrid opens with a savory bouquet, blending incense, ginger, dusty florals and hints of fleshly sliced peach. This is a model of refinement, silky and sapid with tactile mineral tones offsetting its ripe white pit fruits as a core of stimulating acidity maintains marvelous freshness. There's so much complexity here, as the 2021 finishes long, with a lingering salinity perfectly balanced by a tinge of candied citrus and hints of young kiwi. Drink: 2024-2030. (Jan 2024)”
94+ points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "The 2021 Chardonnay Sigrid is bright and crystalline, offering scents of Meyer lemon, almonds, meringue and flint. The palate is surprisingly powerful! It explodes with concentrated apple and almond layers, while its firm, linear acidity provides tension. It has a very long, mouthwatering finish and will benefit from 2-3+ years in bottle. Drink: 2025-2035. (7/3/24)"
