Stellar Oregon Chards and Pinots... Last Bottles of Morgen Long and X Novo

Oregon on the Rise!!
Very limited bottles... AND In-Stock!

23's of winemaker/owner Seth Morgen Long - we were floored with what was in front of us and delivered in the glass...  and rightfully so as the wines are spectacular!  Seth also mentioned that his favorite site without any hesitation was the "X Omni" site of Criag Williams.

Craig Williams' new project and label was formed by talented and brilliant palate of vigneron Craig Williams. Criag's vision for this site stems from a lifetime given to viticulture, enology, and countless bottles of wines that intrigued and inspired him to reach. We were able to taste these wines in August of 2024 and simply put, they were stunning. Had we tasted blind I am confident all of us in the room would have called Burgundy, hands down.  High-density plantings in this amazing site.

Eric Guido, Vinous reviews the Morgen Long 2023's:
"Seth Long describes 2023 as "super-condensed," with a short window between budbreak and lowering, followed by a tight two-week harvest period, but he was extremely pleased with the quality of fruit brought into the winery. The 2023s are marked by high acidity and formidable structure, with a core of vividly ripe fruit that sets them apart. Most will be pleasurable on release, yet these wines are built to age. The portfolio is exclusively Chardonnay, sourced from
top sites across the valley. The Black Label and Willamette Valley bottlings both overdeliver for the price, offering outstanding value at $33 and $54, respectively. Fans of Oregon Chardonnay should not miss Morgen Long."

The wines...

2023 Morgen Long Chardonnay X Omni Vineyard - 97 pts
"Distinctly savory in the glass, the 2023 Chardonnay X Omni Vineyard blends wild herbs with citrus-laced peach, cardamom and white smoke. The palate is beautifully balanced, with ripe pit fruits contrasted by nuances of lemon zest over silken textures. Its finish is extremely long and full of youthful tension, leaving the palate buzzing with a mix of residual acids and stern mineral tones. An outstanding interpretation of X Omni fruit." - Vinous, July 2025

2019 X Novo Chardonnay ‘X Omni’ Eola-Amity Hills - CT 92.3
"Golden in color with a green hue, the 2019 Chardonnay X Omni Vineyard wafts up with a rich bouquet, blending raw almonds with white flowers and young peach. This washes across the palate with silken textures, quickly firmed up by a core of zesty acidity as sour citrus complements tart orchard fruits. It finishes long and staining with a lemony concentration that puckers the cheeks as hints of vanilla custard slowly fade." - By Eric Guido on May 2024

2023 Morgen Long Chardonnay Temperance Hill Vineyard - 96 pts
"The 2023 Chardonnay Temperance Hill Vineyard evolves in the glass, revealing a wonderfully complex bouquet of musky apricot, dusty sage, shavings of ginger, lime zest and cracked slate. Silken in feel, it washes across the palate with opulent ripe pit fruits supported by brisk acidity while nuances of sour citrus provide lovely contrast. Salty mineral tones echo on the finish, offset by an air of sweet spice and tapering off long and salivating with a subtle tinge of sour melon." - Vinous, July 2025

2023 Morgen Long Chardonnay Koosah Vineyard - 95 pts
"The 2023 Chardonnay Koosah Vineyard is aromatically delicate in the glass, mixing notes of lemon oil, dusty sage and wet stone to form its inviting bouquet. It is texturally intense and nearly weighty in feel, offering fresh acidity for balance as ripe green apple tones meld with salty minerals, adding lovely contrast. The finish is long and savory, gently structured with saline nuances fading slowly. Give this youngster time to find its footing. A gentle giant." - Vinous, July 2025

2023 Morgen Long Chardonnay Willamette Valley - 94 pts
"The 2023 Chardonnay Willamette Valley opens with a gentle whiff of sweet spice that gives way to mineral-infused nectarine and a hint of sage as it blossoms in the glass. Rounded textures and ripe orchard fruit sweep across the palate. Saline concentration and nuances of tart citrus add form toward the close. A caking of chalky, salty concentration lingers as this tapers off remarkably fresh and full of lively tension." - Vinous, July 2025

2021 X Novo Pinot Noir ‘X Omni’ Eola-Amity Hills - VN 92
"The 2021 Pinot Noir X Omni Vineyard is wild, lifting from the glass like a basket of ripe berries, complemented by hints of cola, sweet spice and violet. This is juicy in character, with masses of ripe red and blue fruits that swirl throughout as vibrant acidity maintains fantastic energy. Sour citrus tones add lovely inner tension. An air of lavender lingers as the 2021 finishes long, gently tannic and staining, balancing a saturation of primary fruit." - By Eric Guido on May 2024
