Willamette Queen

2009 Willamette Valley Chardonnay

The Willamette Valley Vineyards Willamette Queen is a stunning example of Oregon Chardonnay from the renowned Willamette Valley region, showcasing the unique terroir of this exceptional wine-growing area. This white wine exhibits a luxurious, full-bodied character that envelops the palate with its rich and creamy mouthfeel. Bracing acidity balances the wine beautifully, bringing a refreshing liveliness that enhances its complexity. The fruit intensity is pronounced, offering delightful notes of ripe apples, juicy pears, and delicate hints of tropical fruits, all harmoniously intertwined. With a well-structured foundation, the wine features subtle oak undertones that add depth and dimension without overpowering the expressive fruit. The finish is dry, leaving a crisp and clean impression, making it a wonderful choice for both casual gatherings and elegant dining experiences.

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.
