2013 Horse Heaven Hills Chardonnay

Columbia Crest H3 Chardonnay from the 2013 vintage is a delightful expression of the Horse Heaven Hills region, known for its unique terroir and exceptional grape-growing conditions. This white wine showcases a beautifully balanced body that is medium in structure, offering a pleasing weight on the palate. The acidity is bright and lively, contributing to its overall freshness, while the fruit intensity is prominent, revealing enticing notes of ripe apple, pear, and a hint of citrus zest. Subtle undertones of creaminess and oak add complexity, making this Chardonnay not only refreshing but also incredibly food-friendly. The dryness of this wine enhances its appeal, allowing it to pair perfectly with a variety of dishes, from seafood to creamy pasta. Enjoy the well-structured finish that lingers pleasantly, inviting another sip.

Horse Heaven Hills
Horse Heaven Hills

Home to multiple 100 point wines, Horse Heaven Hills is nestled in the southeastern corner of Washington and is a hidden jewel amidst the vast landscape of the Pacific Northwest. Primarily known for reds, wines from the region are exciting and vibrant. Vineyards are planted along the banks of the Columbia River and on hillsides ranging from 300 feet to 1800 feet elevation. Despite the proximity to the river, the land is extremely dry. Heavy winds force grapes to work harder for nutrients and as a result, they develop highly concentrated fruit flavors.
