This 2006 vintage Chardonnay presents a luscious mouthfeel, imbued with a vibrant acidity that brings a refreshing lift to the palate. The wine is characterized by a prominent fruit intensity, featuring notes of ripe apple, pear, and hints of citrus, all harmoniously intertwined with subtle oak undertones. Its dryness allows for a crisp finish, making it an excellent choice for pairing with seafood dishes or creamy pasta. With its elegant structure and complexity, this Chardonnay truly reflects the artistry of winemaking in the renowned Willamette Valley region.

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.
