Willamette Valley, Oregon, United StatesAnvi is Latin for stone, or rock, and a hallmark found across the Willamette Valley. In contrast to Lingua Franca's single-vineyard wines, this is sourced from various sites across the greater Willamette, including Dundee, Salem, and Yamhill-Carlton. Mostly Dijon clones, this was harvest early, pressed and rested in tank for one day to settle and then a natural fermentation and full MLF before a year in French puncheons (20% new) and a tightening stint back in tank before a light filter and bottling. A lovely and potent flick of flint leads into green apple, lemon curd and peel, all textured with a subtle stony grain and shaped by its time in wood. There's a wonderful, natural lift and brightness here to this structural wine, drinking beautifully now but with a capacity to age—one of USA's top wineries.Tasted: 29 February 2020Tasted by: Prices:

Willamette Valley, Oregon, United StatesIn the case of the AVNI Chardonnay, a Stone family name that means “my stone” or “mother earth,” it’s grown on 100% Jory soils in Dundee’s Durant and Willamette Valley Vineyards in Salem, Willakenzie vineyard in Yamhill-Carlton, with a contribution from Loubejac vineyard fruit near Monmouth, in Willakenzie and Dupee soils. The nose is subtle, the palate racy with silky textures and an alluring complexity. In a sense big, but light on its feet through its mix of delicate pear and citrus with a stony, mineral, floral finish. Drink or hold.Tasted: 02 November 2018Tasted by: Prices:
