2019 Chardonnay

The classic Chardonnay grape excels in Washington State. In 2019 we worked with two vineyards: Conley Vineyard in Yakima and Copeland Vineyard in Zillah. Conley is a high-altitude, organically farmed vineyard that allows for great acid retention while Copeland through its old vines planted in rocky soils gives depth of flavor to anchor the style. 

The wine is fermented in French oak barriques in the Burgundian tradition with minimal stirring to encourage freshness and balance. It was aged on the fine lees for a total of 11 months. The wine exhibits primary aromas of stone fruit, Asian spice and citrus notes intermingled with secondary cream and almond markers. On the palate the wine exhibits depth and freshness typical of cooler climate Chardonnay
