Showing an electric austerity, the Justice Vineyard sits exposed on a ridgeline in the Eola-Amity appellation, buffetted by the winds through the Van Duzer Corridor. Reductive and flinty aromatics with flashes of green mangoes, smashed chalk and grilled lemon. The palate is stony with a mineral spine that dictates terms to white nectarine flesh, fresh ginger root and a whack of salty sea air.

The 2022 Chardonnay Justice Vineyard displays a bright yellow hue in the glass and has more lifted reduction on the nose, with savory notes of gunflint, bright citrus, radish, white pepper, and apple skin. It’s linear, persistent, and long on the palate, with a chalky texture and a long finish. Give it another year or two to flesh out, when its fruit will be bolstered a touch. Drink 2025-2035. 165 cases were produced.

Invigorating acidity and a lithe and lean texture serve tangy Justice. The show begins with aromas of pear, marjoram and grilled lemons. A bright and refreshing palate showcases flavors of lemon zest, Ligurian olive oil and thyme. This crisp treat deserves a sunny day and copious amounts of fresh seafood.

The 2022 Chardonnay Justice Vineyard is intense, nearly smoky in the best possible way, with a burst of dusty florals, savory herbs and dried apricots. It’s salty and concentrated but silken in texture—almost weighty in feel. Masses of ripe orchard fruits and salty minerals add tremendous depth. It leaves the palate stained in primary concentration, tapering off structured and long with a saline tinge and hints of Asian pear that slowly fade. This is a beast of a wine.
