2021 CHARDONNAY

An assemblage of vineyard sites from various locations in the northern Willamette Valley. We work with these vineyards to craft a wine that shows balance and the best of Chardonnay from this cool climate region. Combining earlier and later ripening locations creates a wine with layers of aromatics and flavors that accentuate classic Oregon acidity and texture.

TASTING NOTES AS OF APRIL, 2023
