2023 Chardonnay
This 2023 Chardonnay offering is one of our favorites. We harvested the fruit with beautiful flavors on the 18th of September. The juice was fermented cold in 33% new French oak. After fermentation was complete the wine underwent a partial malolactic fermentation giving the wine its beautiful mid-palate. The barrels were stirred for the first 5 months then settled and aged on Sur Lie for another 3 months. After aging in oak the wine was then cold settled in tank and filtered to bottle. The aromas are toasty and lightly buttery with vanilla scents, while on the palate the creamy texture and flavors of ripe apple and peach touch the senses.

Gold - 91 Points - Savor NW Wine Competition
"There wasn’t much fruit to be found on the nose of this wine. Instead, it is an interesting aromatic combination of caramel popcorn and earthy post-rain petrichor. Flavors of strawberry lemonade and chamomile tea with a touch of honey meld with a mildly oaky-buttery quality." 88 points - Michael Alberty, Wine Enthusiast
