Clos Marco

2012 Yamhill-Carlton Chardonnay

The Willakenzie Estate Clos Marco Chardonnay from the 2012 vintage is a splendid expression of its Yamhill-Carlton origins. This white wine showcases a medium body, beautifully balanced with a high acidity that brings a refreshing vibrancy to the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of luscious stone fruit and citrus notes that dance harmoniously with subtle hints of oak and minerality. With a pronounced dryness, this Chardonnay offers a crisp and clean finish, making it a delightful accompaniment to a variety of dishes. The craftsmanship behind this wine truly reflects the unique terroir of the Willakenzie Estate, ensuring each sip is a delightful experience.

Willamette Valley
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.
