Morgen Long "X Omni Vineyard" Eola-Amity Hills Chardonnay 2022

Jeb Dunnuck : 98 Points

(8/6/2024) The 2022 Chardonnay X Omni Vineyard is a bright yellow hue, and its nose is fantastic and has a lot to offer, with notes of white pepper, sweet smoke, jasmine, salted lime, and white peach. Mid-weight and focused, it’s finessed all the way through and is weightless and mouthwatering. It is consistently one of my favorite wines in the range, and the 2022 is no exception. It's incredibly tasty now, but I recommend stashing this away and hiding it (from myself) for a few years. Drink 2025-2037.

Vinous - Eric Guido : 96 Points

(8/2024) The 2022 Chardonnay X Omni Vineyard is understated in the glass, slowly evolving with hints of raw almond, white flowers, freshly sliced nectarines and chlorophyll. This seductress is elegant and refined with medium-weight textures and vividly ripe orchard fruits, all offset by a salty tinge toward the close. It finishes long and youthfully structured, leaving a chunky, nearly chalky sensation that resonates. What a beauty. Patience will be required to reveal its hidden charms. The X Omni was refined in 70% new oak. Drinking Window: 2026 - 2034.

(2/20/2025) This has sophisticated aromas of cashew butter, fresh apricots, lemon curd and vanilla custard. Some slate and sage on the palate, too, which is medium- to full-bodied, cool and caressing. Bright backbone of acidity with a creamy mouth-feel. Long and classy. Drink or hold.
