Chardonnay
1/3 Washington is one of the latest additions to our diverse portfolio of wines. This exciting new brand has two debut releases, Syrah and Chardonnay. Crafted from Washington's well-known Columbia Valley, this light and creamy Chardonnay offers an elegant balance of fresh, green fruit flavor and subtle oak influence.

WINE REGION:
Columbia Valley
Sheltered by the rain shadow of the Cascade Mountains, Columbia Valley is home to the majority of Washington's vineyards. Cool nights keep zippy acidity in the grapes, while long daylight hours give the fruit plenty of chance to ripen. This results in full-bodied Merlot, elegant Cabernet Sauvignon and deeply concentrated Syrah. White wines are just as tantalizing, with toasty oak-touched Chardonnay and ripe stone fruit-flavored Riesling taking the spotlight. Sub-AVAs to look out for are Yakima Valley and Walla Walla. The Columbia Valley is one of the only appellations in the United States to occupy vineyards in two states, as it crosses the Oregon border in the southern part of the valley.

TASTING NOTES:
Vanilla
Honey
Lime
On the nose, our Chardonnay offers aromas of green apple and key lime. The palate is light-bodied with a subtle creaminess resulting from the wine's brief kiss with oak. As it opens in your glass, these smooth textures reveal notes of vanilla and honey for a balanced and beautiful finish.
