Nose

A delicate and fragrant nose showing lifted aromas of white peach and nectarine, slivered almond, crushed shale and a hint of flinty reduction.

Palate

Celilo vineyard’s distinctive stone fruit flavors saturate the palate with a tremendous depth and intensity of flavor. A firm, driving acidity provides excellent power and finesse, while light toasted elements add warmth and structure. The wine finishes with excellent length and a saline minerality.

Growing Conditions

Our Estate Chardonnay comes from two exceptional blocks at Celilo Vineyard, which were planted in 1983 and 1990.

Harvest

The grapes were harvested in late September.
