The Willamette Valley Vineyards Dijon Clone Chardonnay from the 2007 vintage is a remarkable expression of the unique terroir of the Willamette Valley. This white wine showcases a medium body that gracefully balances richness and elegance, making it a delightful choice for various occasions. Its acidity is bright and lively, adding a refreshing quality that enhances the overall experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, exhibiting luscious notes of ripe pear and crisp apple, complemented by subtle hints of citrus zest. This Chardonnay is bone dry, allowing its vibrant flavors to shine through without any cloying sweetness. Hints of toasted oak and vanilla elevate the complexity of the wine, while its texture remains smooth, making it an exceptional companion for seafood, poultry, or creamy pasta dishes.

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.
