2021 X-OMNI Chardonnay Review

Yup, I’m still on the back deck soaking up the sun, and you can bet this will be my default spot for the next several months! ☀️ But before I dive into tonight’s wine, let’s talk about the incredible X-OMNI vineyard. Walter Scott makes a Chardonnay from its sibling vineyard, X-NOVO, that is absolutely to die for! Abbott Claim’s Chardonnay from X-OMNI is equally stellar. And when Corollary announced their Blanc de Blanc from X-OMNI, I didn’t hesitate to snap up 6 bottles—even before tasting it! On the podcast, Seth shared some insights into why X-OMNI is so special. His 2021 X-OMNI Chardonnay was only the second Oregon Chardonnay to score 100 points—a testament to both the vineyard’s quality and Seth’s ability to showcase its terroir. I felt a twinge of guilt opening the 2022 Willamette Valley Chardonnay so early, but when I saw the DIAM 30 cork on the 2022 X-OMNI Chardonnay, I was nearly moved to tears. Although the journey this bottle was intended to take was cut short, I did my utmost to respect what was inside. I took this wine to day 6, and it was still going strong, maintaining everything in place along with a crisp, linear acidity. Wow, just wow! 👇 👇 👇 👇 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 Would you like to get a Saturday morning email once a month to read with your coffee giving you insider tips on events, news, and an in-depth perspective on a winery?
