Today we share the outstanding wines of Corollary. They began with the 2017 vintage and more recently in 2022, they acquired 57 acres of land in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA where they are one of the only properties in Oregon dedicated exclusively to sparkling wines.
I visited their beautiful site last summer and tasted through their lineup. The location is remote and highly scenic, with incredible views of the valley. Each bottling offers a refined mousse with good nuance. I adore the 2020 Corollary ‘X-Omni Vineyard Blanc de Blancs’ Sparkling Wine (OB, 95) which is loaded with citrus tones and tension.
