Reserve Chardonnay

2008 Willamette Valley Chardonnay

The Emerson Vineyards Reserve Chardonnay from the 2008 vintage showcases the remarkable characteristics of the Willamette Valley region. This elegant white wine offers a medium-bodied profile, perfectly balanced with a refreshing acidity that invigorates the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing luscious notes of ripe apple, pear, and hints of citrus, complemented by a subtle touch of oak that adds depth and complexity. With a mild dryness, this Chardonnay is exceptionally food-friendly, making it an ideal companion for a variety of dishes. Its graceful tannins contribute to a smooth mouthfeel, allowing the wine's vibrant flavors to shine through with every sip.

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.
