The Columbia Winery Chardonnay hails from the Yakima Valley, a region celebrated for its exceptional grape-growing conditions. This white wine showcases a medium body, making it a delightful choice for those who enjoy a balanced experience. Its acidity is bright and refreshing, enhancing the overall vibrancy of the wine, while the fruit intensity reveals prominent notes of apple and pear, with subtle hints of citrus that add depth. The wine is beautifully dry, presenting a crisp character that perfectly complements its fruit-forward flavors.

Yakima Valley

Washington's Yakima Valley enjoys 300 days of sunshine per year, thanks to the shelter provided by the Cascade Mountains. And although it is dry here, it has the coolest climate in the Columbia Valley. With innovative irrigation and canopy techniques in the vineyards, Yakima Valley is home to nearly a third of Washington's wine production. Bright sunlight and crisp temperatures result in well-balanced wines with complex flavors and mouthwatering acidity. Fresh, creamy Chardonnay and surprisingly floral Rieslings are the main white wines here. There are also some impressively elegant red Bordeaux-style blends and peppery Syrah with a backbone of rich, dark fruit.
