Chalice Estate

2014 Willamette Valley Chardonnay

The Iris Vineyards Chalice Estate 2014 is a stunning expression of Willamette Valley Chardonnay that captivates with its luminous golden hue. This white wine boasts a medium body, elegantly balanced by a high acidity that lends it a refreshing vibrancy. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing notes of ripe pear, apple, and hints of citrus that dance gracefully across the palate. The wine's deliciously integrated oak influence adds subtle layers of vanilla and spice without overwhelming its crisp character. It is a dry Chardonnay, making it an excellent companion for a variety of dishes, from seafood to creamy pastas, embodying the perfect harmony between richness and liveliness in every sip.

Willamette Valley

The Willamette Valley is understandably most often associated with Pinot Noir. The cool-climate region has a unique relationship to this most delicate (and temperamental!) red wine grape. Lying on the same latitude as Burgundy in France, the Willamette Valley enjoys the perfect balance of sunshine and rain, proximity to the Pacific Ocean and protection on either side by the Coast Range and the Cascade Mountains. Along its 100 miles, the Willamette Valley boasts many distinct terroirs, so among its many brightly fruity, elegantly structured and blissfully fragrant Pinots, you'll also find exceptional Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling.
