CHARDONNAY

COLUMBIA VALLEY

DESCRIPTION   The Chardonnay grape thrives in Washington's loam and sand soils - deposits left from the Missoula floods.  These soils help influence flavors within our Chardonnay fruit that are both rich and developed, with hints of mineral and stone fruit.

Our Chardonnay carries on our signature style of producing clean, high acid, fruit driven wines. The wine counters with wonderful texture and a slight density, making it a complex and quite delicious wine. 2011 set the bar for our Chardonnay quality in one of the coolest years on record.  Since that time we have been able to apply what was learned there in recreating that style.
